We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. Viruses are usually spread by aphids, but soil pathogens - fungi, nematodes and eelworms - can also be responsible. The incorporation of well-rotted organic matter into the soil a few weeks before planting will be beneficial, as will the application of a good quality, granular, general purpose fertiliser immediately prior to planting. Strawberries need space and feed wherever they're grown, so restrict yourself to no more than three plants in a 30-litre pot.

Suitable for a range of plants, including hostas and lettuce, this 6 pack of mats are reusable and will last for years.I have my strawberries growing in 2 pots - smaller one stacked on top of bigger one - and slugs can't be bothered to crawl up! Stop your strawberries rotting where they come into contact with the soil, and prevent weeds from growing around your strawberry plants with these handy mulch mats. If using a pallet, remove four planks by sawing through the frame flush with one edge of each plank.
