any of you strawberry growers have any special ideas for growing strawberries. New ways perhaps or tricks of the trade and success stories. I have been searching for other than traditional methods of growing them in Upstate NY. I have tried to purchase plug varieties but they are only sold in 1000 lots and only available in the fall for shipping/planting; so bare root seems to be the way for me. I have been growing them traditionally for some years now but am always open to newer, better ways of doing things as most farm folks are ! Usually I have about 100 plants in production or new sets. I am interested in any info you kind folks can supply about the do's and don'ts , how to's and not to's and especially different methods and cultural practices. I am not set up for Hydroponic culture so the good old mother earth is my setting. Jim
