Renovate the current strawberry planting one last time. After renovation, select a site for a new planting next spring. When selecting a planting site, choose a site with good soil drainage. Also, select a site where strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants have not been grown within the last 3 years to minimize the risk of Verticillium wilt, red stele, and other diseases. After the site has been chosen, begin preparing the site for next spring's planting.
Early preparation allows sufficient time to control perennial weeds and amend the soil if necessary.
Destroy the old planting after next season's last harvest. Iowa State University , Ames, Iowa. This information subject to a usage policy .
