When to fertilize June-bearing strawberries:

Do not fertilize your June-bearing strawberries in the spring. Fertilize at renovation after fruit harvest, which promotes growth and more flower bud development for next year’s crop. The best time to renovate June-bearing strawberry cultivars is about one to two weeks after the last fruit harvest (generally late-July or early August ). The goal of renovation is to remove the leaves without damaging the crown. Mow or cut the leaves to about 2 inches above the crown using a lawn mower or hand shears in small plantings or raised beds. Read details of how to fertilize and renovate in the following article.
