In my garden they seem to have boomed as a groundcover, and I have looots of fruit this year. But I read that you have to divide the patch every 3 years or so to keep it vigorous. What does "dividing" mean in the case of strawberries ? Should I thin the patch by uprooting half of the plants ? Or should I mow it down like grass ? And when should I do it ? Should I mulch it ? Thanks in advance ! Quote \| Reply \| Report
