Keeping strawberries off the ground (Strawberry bed spring care) – Garden strawberries
How to grow strawberries in chemical free cultivation. This time, I will attend to strawberry plant care. (Maintain strawberry plants.) To keep the strawberries clean, we take measures when the fruits appear.
We use non-woven fabric to protect the strawberries. (Strawberries get damaged easily when they touch the mulch directly.)
To keep strawberries off the ground, you can use straw, but this time we will use non-woven fabric. (Straw can be blown away by the wind, so non-woven fabric is recommended.)
Roll the non-woven fabric and surround the strawberry plants. (Use U-shaped garden pins to fix the non-woven fabric.)
This non-woven fabric not only “keeps strawberries off the ground" but also “protects strawberries from insects." The non-woven fabric is thick, so it also helps to keep the strawberry plants warm.

Please tell me how to add fertilizer to outdoor-grown strawberries (How to side dressing to strawberries)
For strawberries grown in the field, fertilizer is applied between the plants. To side-dress, dig a small trench between the strawberry plants and put chicken manure in it. The amount of chicken manure is 10g (0.35 oz) per spot.
After side-dressing, water the chicken manure and cover it with soil. The water helps speed up the breakdown of the fertilizer in the soil. To prevent insects from being attracted by the smell of the chicken manure, always bury the fertilizer in the soil.
