Preparing the strawberry beds


This year we are taking the strawberry cultivation to the next level. The strawberry beds seen here have been covered in a special plastic, white on the upper-side to reflect the sunlight and a black underside to block light getting to the soil thus keeping in the moisture and controlling the growth of weeds.

A drip-feed watering system has been installed down the center; circular holes will be cut in the plastic for each strawberry plant.

To the right, a small bed of peas are beginning to sprout. 

As always, our son likes to join in :-)
