The best way always is God's way to grow food and plants. Hence we see recently a very few farmers here to experiment with organic strawberry farming. In nature all grows in abundance, strong and delicious - a natural way.
Here a young farmer girl experiments with organic farming, using dry straw and dried grass to protect strawberries from touching soil.
Ideal would be to have low grass or any low growing plants to cover up the soil around strawberry plants. In nature we have wild strawberry plants growing amidst healthy strong grass, thus wild strawberries are touching grass instead of naked soil.
If other plants and grass are growing too high, the highest plants can be removed by hand and used as mulching - natural fertilizer!
