Hi,
Can anyone suggest anything else I can do for my strawberries. They are in their second year and some are showing signs of yellowing between the veins. I gave them a couple of doses of seaweed drink in the spring after any rain we had and now a dose of Epsom salts. Any thoughts on what else I can do or why this has happened, some of them look very healthy, all have lots of strawberries on. I have tried to maintain watering during the dry weather.
Regards
Hilary

I wouldn't give them any more Epson Salts, Strawberries don't need it till after fruiting when you have cut back the foliage. A high potash fertilizer can be used then.

Weed and hoe gently so as not to damage the roots.

Thanks Beryl - hopefully the rain we have just had will perk them up a bit.
