Of course, it’s worth it. Black agrotextile has practically only advantages:
– no weeding – black agrotextile is impenetrable for weeds (strawberries don’t need to be weeded),
– thanks to the fact that the fabric is black, the soil underneath it warms up faster, and strawberries start their vegetation earlier, as well as begin to bear fruit sooner,🍓
– black agrotextile easily allows water from rainfall or a hose to pass through and reduces its evaporation from the soil – under the fabric, the soil retains moisture longer, while plants experience greater thermal and humidity comfort,
– strawberry fruits are never sandy, they can be eaten without washing.🌱
A bit of trouble might be caused by making holes before planting strawberries but it’s worth playing around with. You can purchase the fabric and pins for attaching it to the ground in our online store: www.strawberry-plants.ie🤩
