Market Farming

[Allan Balliett <igg AT igg.com>]

Friends -

I've got several double rowed beds of 2nd year Seascape day neutral 
strawberries under ecological management.

We are getting INCREDIBLE production from these beds, but I'm not 
happy with the way the berries taste (good "strawberry flavor," but 
tart instead of "sweet")

I've heard that increasing available K can improve the sweetness and 
flavor of strawberries, but I'm not sure if that can be done once the 
harvest has begun.

I'm writing to see if anyone has successfully improved the flavor of 
their berries during the season.

Thanks
