Everbearing and day-neutral strawberries bear fruit in spring and again in the fall. They benefit from an application of nitrogen-rich fertilizer this time of year. Unless a soil test suggests otherwise, add a layer of compost or organic fertilizer such as blood meal next to the plant rows. A high nitrogen fertilizer such as 27-3-4 at a rate of 1 ½ tsp per hill can be used but if using a lawn fertilizer, ensure it does not contain weed killers or preventers. Irrigate immediately after adding the fertilizer.
Brambles can be fertilized now as well using the same method as above. For synthetic fertilizers apply ½ cup for every 10 row feet.
