I am sorry to interrupt and as a new member I do not understand how to start my own blog so please excuse my inabilities. I purchased a large pot of evergreen strawberries at my local nursery. I split the pot into six sections, dug out six holes in a blocked off portion of my yard, mixed the dirt with good compost into a mound and set the section of strawberry from the pot onto the mound and without thinking pulled the excess original dirt surrounding the plant to support it while I did the same with the other five sections about 3 feet apart. I then placed weed screen around everything and help everything in place with 4 year old horse manure. Everything did good until yesterday December 7 (I live in Virginia in grow range 7a) when I noticed reddish brown leaves on several plants. I immediately applied Miracle Grow on each plant, and today I pulled back the straw and cut away the weed screening and dug around each plant finding little white root hairs trying to grow into the unrich sandy soil from the original holes. I filled each trenches I had dug with good rich compost and then recovered everything as before. I am sorry I did not do enough research prior to planting. Does anyone have an helpful suggestions?
