Thanks for the tip. Have tiny strawbs growing for the first time and half of them have been chewed.

I used the hulled out potato method to attract the pillbugs, and it is working wonderfully!!! Thank you so much!

You forgot one awful pest that eats the roots of your strawberries 🍓 the damn grubs. I know this because I found some eating my strawberry roots. There's also snails. Even though I put hay for the strawberries to rest on so they do not mold from the dirt, the dang snails managed to walk right across the hay no problem to get to the strawberries geez !

Im gonna grow strawberries soon i think

[@a787fxr]

We are Gardners, yes. We are also weeders and Slug hunters. My garden was ravaged by two girls with zero regard for others that have been told to please not harvest others gardens. They don't care. A bird net doesn't stop greedy little hands. !:- (

That is so true! My son eats so many of my strawberries before they’re even ripe!

For it Dogs, kids, and birds 😂

Any ideas for those little worms? Seems I’m the odd one out where I live doing organic and and the last half of the season my whole patch was ruined with tiny little worm ( from those little flies laying egg inside the fruit ) that have been destroyed raspberries lately. It was soo discouraging!

[@OurSanctuaryGarden]

I’m so sorry! That’s frustrating. You can try next year to add row cover over top your strawberries when you know the flies are laying eggs. But you’d have to lift it now and then for the pollinators to get in. Maybe try a sticky trap to catch the adults. I know of some people who put little nylon footies on each strawberry to protect them. That’s a lot of work but it ensures you get a harvest.
