It’s that time of year again to think about removing your straw mulch. If you haven’t already done so, the predicted clear stretch of weather from now (apart from this evening’s predicted showers) through mid-week next week may be the time.
The forecast for the remainder of this week into next week is for temperatures in the 60’s and even a possibility of 70’s in most areas across the state.
If you’ re looking for information on things to consider when making your decision here’s an informative article posted on April 8, 2014 to the news section of the Michigan State University Extension fruit and nuts page on the subject by my MSU friend and colleague Bob Tritten : “When to remove straw mulch in strawberries“.
Thanks Bob, for sharing your insights!
