The tips that matter
- Set the crown exactly at soil level — buried it rots, proud it dries out.
- Mulch under the fruit (straw, pine needles): clean berries and fewer slugs.
- Cut the runners of everbearers through summer: they exhaust the plant at the expense of fruit.
- Replace the plants every 3-4 years — production drops sharply after that.
