Renewed interest in growing Everbearing Strawberries 
has been brought about by this revolutionary system, 
whereby plants are set in rows 1 foot apart, plants 1 foot 
part in the row, with 4 rows forming a bed. A 2-foot space 
is left between the beds to provide a path along which to 
rork when picking the fruit or removing weeds. A 1-inch 
layer of sawdust mulch is applied throughout the plot, and 
all runners should be removed from the plants as fast as
