Weird isn't it, and here's me going round and replacing lightbulbs and plugs with spares left in laundry cupboards BEFORE I moved out. A habit my Mum had and passed on to me.
It seems the best companions for strawberries are onions, of all things, so I shall pop in a punnet of spring onions and put a marigold seeding in the middle. Not as pretty as I imagined but sometimes effective is better than decorative. And if that mix doesn't produce an abundance, I shall be mentioning to Tui on farcebook, they are very responsive on their page, lol. I am going to tent the pot to keep the birds and the neighbours off, and have stacked the filled pot on top on an upturned empty one to raise it up. If the slippery beasts decide it is worth visiting I shall try that new recipe for a no beer trap I saw on instagram - sugar, water, and a bit of yeast. I'm thinking it is the yeast and sugar that mimics the beer effect on the hungry ones. And not as dangerous to my furry friends or the birds as those pellets.
