Hi all,
I am having a Great time reading about your success in Strawberry land, CG. I have just moved into a new home in Western Washington.
I had been trying to grow a garden on Firwood Road, in Oregon. Yes, the fir trees were 90 feet tall all around the house.
Now, I get good Southern exposure about 7 to 8 hours a day. Many new possibilities.

I read with interest your posts on the raised beds. Great way to grow strawberries. Here is a way I discovered a few years ago to grow many things. They grow strawberries commercially in California with these. They do start the year with new plants. It cuts down on disease and gives them new vigorous plants.
