strawberrys

When we moved in our house there were some strawberry plants that we rescued and planted on a really big tub. To our amazment they cropped really well.
Now they are finished some of the leaves are really leggy and others are turning brown. What do we do for wintering them?

cheers for any help

 

Hi

I normaly give a hair cut and get rid of all the old leaves , years ago if you had straw round them peole used to burn that and it cleared all the bugs out as well but we have to be carful now with pollution !!!.

I would give the top of the soil a tickle around and check for slugs at the same time , raise the tub off the floor so its sitting on bricks so the rain water has a good opertunity to drain away , I woudnt do much else until the spring and top dress about a inch with fresh compost and give a spring feed .
