This workshop discussed organic strawberry production methods used by Paul and Sandy Arnold of Pleasant Valley Farm. The Arnolds have experimented with matted row systems but now prefer the annual bed system using tips instead of plugs. Some key benefits of the annual bed system are that it frees up space for other crops, reduces disease and pest issues, and improves aeration and yields compared to the matted row system. The workshop provided detailed instructions on soil preparation, planting, irrigation, pest management and harvesting using the annual bed system with tips.
