Advice On Removing Pests From Strawberries Use bird netting. To keep pests—including raccoons—away, companion plants with garlic or onions.
Grow them on raised beds to ward against slugs and snails. Marigolds will help to repel nematodes. Use neem oil.
Promote helpful insects like ladybugs. Get ready with a water and hot pepper mix if you want squirrels away. Maintaining the Sweetness of Your Strawberries
Plant a variety noted for sweetness, such Albion strawberries. Make sure they spend six to eight hours in direct sunshine.
Grow strawberries in pH-range between 5.7 and 6.5 in acidic soil. Check for potassium in your fertilizer; luscious strawberries depend on this essential component.
Strive not to overwater. Make sure plants have enough of room to flourish. When strawberries are absolutely ripe, pick them.
