Bumper Crop of Organic Strawberries At Hereweka Garden Retreat
With all the wonderful summer weather we have been experiencing lately our strwberry bed has continued to produce a bumper crop.
We garden using sustainable organic methods here at Hereweka, our luxury accommodation on the Otago Peninsula , Dunedin.
The strawberries are no exception.
In the spring we mulched all the strawberries in fresh organic compost. We make this compost from material on our property.
We then put on a top layer of pine neddles.
The strawberries have responded well to this treatment and I have been able to pick several kilograms to make delicoius organic jam with.
Like everything on the breakfast tray at our luxury accommodation Retreat, all the jams on your tray are homemade using organic sugar.
