* raised beds are covered with stretchy black plastic (clear allows more weed growth) * allows for quick harvesting - fruit is clean and lies against the plastic * mother plants are allowed to grow - daughter plants are discouraged * the norm in California and Florida * experimental in Saskatchewan |
* daughter plants allowed to root and fruit * rows widen as daughters establish * narrower rows 8-10" (Ribbon rows) increase light penetration resulting in less disease, higher quality fruit, etc. * cover in November with straw mulch * traditional method |
