Advice on biodegradable membrane for strawberries

Hello HH

1 assume what you need a biodegradeable membrane to do is to lay over the soil and supress weeds long enough for your plants to establish and for some other weed control (like mulch) to take over weed control.

Try cardboard. You can either cut holes in it to plant your strawberries, or leave gaps between sheets of cardboard for planting.

Cardboard works a treat to keep landscaping-turned-weed (like Nandina) from popping up in unwanted places. I also use cardboard around some of my tomatoes.  I place mulch on top of the cardboard.

Cardboard will be effective through most of a growing season. It will biodegrade, and your soil insects and worms will incorporate it into the soil.

Thanks for your advice
Cheers HH
