Hi Jacqueline,

You're probably going as fast as you can given the method you've chosen.
If you're willing to risk more weed invasion, here's what I'd rcommend:

Cut a long slit in your fabric. Using a flat shovel, open the soil in a
slit 4" deep and 4" wide. Trim your strawberry roots to about 4". Lay the
transplants in the trench aligning the plant height with the soil line at
the back of the trench and fanning the roots out. Have someone come behind
and push the slit close. Use irrigaion pins to close the fabric between
every 4th or 5th plant. Your plants should be about a foot apart. This
should cut your time in about half.
