We always used a lot of straw to keep the weeds down but Dad had two excellent ways of removing weeds...me and my little sister. Growing up, it seemed like Tina and I were always pulling weeds, pinching blooms, straightening runners or picking berries. Obviously Mom & Dad worked them too but even now I look back and it seems like we spent all spring and summer every year in the strawberry patch or garden. We had about an acre in berries and another acre in veggies. I HATED gardens when I was a kid! I hope that nobody told you strawberries were easy but two rows should be fairly simple. ItÂs like everything else in life, if you want to be successful then you have to put the time in on it.

i'd use bean straw or wheat straw as regular straw will introduce more grasses as weeds
