I've had problems with them because 1. the snails have a field day because they are so low to the ground 2. if I don't net them, the birds get at them too. I haven't tried snail traps (beer) yet but I will need to to keep the slugs at bay (esp. with all the rain). The one problem I find is that my strawberries seem to last more than a season and as you would realize with the raised beds, the soil level drops (mine does anyway) and I find it hard to replenish with compost with the strawberries still in situ ( I feel like I'm burying them!). I'm thinking that after this season I may grow them in boxes instead to make it easier and leave the ground open to other more transient crops.Flepandcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829255811468297928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998671520838626880.post-74474610700193610712011-09-27T13:39:48.814+10:002011-09-27T13:39:48.814+10:00How do your strawberries do in the raised bed?
