So I&#39;m taking the opportunity to tidy up my inbox and a pile of paperwork.<br />So, sorry for my very tardy reply. Thanks for stopping by and posting a comment, they&#39;re always appreciated.<br />Val, you&#39;ll have to grow several experimental beds next year to see if you can work out, by process of elimination, which companion is helping your strawbs.<br />Great idea Holly, I think it&#39;s called stacking and, as you say, a great way to get two valuable crops out of the same space.Stuart and Gabriellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07886622731103783384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28875506.post-80566104712619411962011-08-11T14:07:05.824+02:002011-08-11T14:07:05.824+02:00My strawberries cover a 4 x 8 raised bed with a line of asparagus down the middle. I don&#39;t know whether they help each other or not, but it&#39;s a good use of space for us: perennials sharing space, not fighting for light/ root space.Holly Uhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04894281054361794558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28875506.post-65452617859601536402011-08-01T19:59:26.639+02:002011-08-01T19:59:26.639+02:00Well.....I have never had much luck with strawberries....until this year.<br />I planted them in the front gardens terraced flower beds....containing sweet william, lupins, a blueberry bush, pansys, red hot pokers etc etc...and they loved it, were huge, sweet and no pests...so companion planting works, but which companion it up for discussion as I have not a clue!Val Graingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07208039108902726094noreply@blogger.com
