even with the spider mites. Then about 2 weeks after the spider mites dissappeared the plant wilted and died. Any thing i should add or tips on growing strawberries?? Dave |

Strawberries part II
Did you do a pH on the soil? Strawberries like it a little acidic. Over or
under watering will kill them. I plant mine on a raised bed so extra water will run off. I mulch them with pine needles. They help with the pH, keeps the moisture in, and I hope will discourage slugs from trying to eat my crop. They like full sun, but I doubt that too little sun would produce the results you have experienced. Other than that I cant help you. Dwayne "Dave&Dana Gaunky" wrote in message .com...
