I potted out my strawberry plants last year and didnt harvest them as you should.But now the soil line on them has reeceded significantly with a big gap between the surface of soil and top of the plant. Did this happen because i didnt put grit into the potting mix. What should i do now? Should i also remove the dead leaves?
Thanks,
Daniel

Yes remove dead leaves, what has happened to your compost is it has shrunk with time all containers do this just apply some new compost and fork it in , me personally while you are doing that add some blood and fish bone, and don't forget a little straw to keep the berry's clean and dry.
Just fill up the space with cut grass, it keeps the moisture in and slowly releases nutrients to the soil.
I don't remove dead leaves, I let them compost where they are.
