| I have a bed of everbearing strawberries. I live in northern California near the coast. Do I need to mulch my plants? If I do, is there anything I should do to them before I lay mulch down? Also, because it's been wet and rainy here, some of the soil in the bed has what looks like white powdery mold around the plants (I dug a little bit and it looks like the mold is inside the soil as well). What should I do with that? Any suggestions would be much appreciated :) |

| you can add some compost if you any around the plants and add some shredded leaves as the mulch on top of the plant....not much though only a few inches. |

| I used some wood chips around mine and not even over them last year and they grew back fine.My area is also probably a little colder than yours. The white stuff could be a beneficial mycelium,that brings nutrients to the plants. Brady |
