7. Weed control, either mechanical or chemical, should begin immediately.
8. Water is needed both for activation of herbicides and for plant growth. See that planting receives 1 to 1 ½” of water per week either from rain or irrigation. 9. Cultivate to keep runners swept into row until plant stand is sufficient. Thereafter, or in any case after September, any runner tip not yet rooted is a weed and should be removed.
10. During August and September adequate moisture and fertility will increase bud formation and improve fruit yield for the coming year. Continue irrigation through this period and fertilize if necessary.

NOTE: RENOVATION IS A GOOD IDEA IF YOUR BERRY PATCH SEEMS
       HEALTHY BUT TOO DENSE. IT IS NOT WORTH DOING IF PLANTING
       IS DISEASED.
