Hello All,
I used to be a member here years ago. My have things changed. Now a good portion of the site is subscription only. So, until I have a few bucks, I'll need to post this here :-)

I have a strawberry bed (4'x8') in serious need of help. It was planted 3 years ago with a flat (24 plants) of ever bearing berries. We've only ever gotten about a handful of berries out of these and that was in the 2nd year.

Last year, due to sever health issues, we did not plant a garden and the bed was sorely neglected. It is now full of grass, runners and many dead plants. I'm of the notion to just dig up all the plants and transfer them to a new bed. Thinkng that it would be easier than trying to pull all the grass/weeds without pulling up the straw. plants.

I've attached pictures of the matted mess for you all the take a look at. And I'd really like to hear what you would do in the same situation.

Blessed Be,
GW
