Will this work to take out strawberries that have taken over a flower bed?

YES, I HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T WORK WITH THE CobraHead weeder and Cultivator.

I have gardened most of my 72 years, and this is, by far, the best hand tool I have ever owned. The. Best. Yes it will take out strawberries, dandelions, clover, runner grass, thistles, whatever. Follow the instructions. Plants let go best from moist spring soil, so get on it! Loosen plants with the CobraHead, then ease them out. No need to settle for yanking out half a weed. You can have it all, once and for all.

Yes I believe it will work. I haven't used it for that purpose but other plants with similar growth patterns.....the lateral growth of strawberries certainly takes more effort and just a little practice with this weeder.

I've never used it for strawberries but it gets most of dandelion roots in hard ground. I've dug out Holly bush roots with this weeder and a shovel. It's strong enough of a metal and won't bend.

I would say yes, if it will take out the big bull thistle here in TX I think it will remove strawberries

I used 2 oz per gallon to kill blackberries (Himalaya) and salmonberries. It did an adequate job but I was late getting it sprayed. It should even better next spring to finish the job.

Hmm good question. It will probably pick up the leaves and maybe the blossom possibly the pebbles.

Sure, strawberry plants I've seen have not been too deep-rooted, so this should work just fine to remove them.

Hello Eleanor, I have not tryed to take out the yellow flowers. When I clean the feeder I run hot water through the flowers when I have the unit apart. This seems to work well. I hope that you find this helpful. Richard...

It most certainly can. So far as I know it is quite safe and will not harm strawberries.

Yep it sure will. I have mine placed in my flower bed to keep my dog out of it and every since I got this, my dog hasn't gone into my flower bed once. If you have more than 1 dog, each dog would need to have a collar on in order to keep them out of the area you don't want them going in to.

It depends on the size of the seeds. Using the finest size sieve I don't think it will remove all berry seeds. You would have to put it through a hand held fine sieve after using the food mill.

I've used it a few times for strawberries -- as long as you don't push too hard/fast it should be fine.

I have a solid plastic strawberry planter, and I use pieces of landscape fabric to block the holes I don't want to use. Works perfect!!

Oh, I don't think so -- It has taken out some weed vines, maybe 2-3 feet long, and 1/4 inch in diameter.

Wish I could help, but I don't eat strawberries. This has firm wire stretched across so I think it would, but again, not sure.

I have never tried it but I would think not. I have trouble with some of the larger strawberries but I love it.

It's actually much bigger than it looks. You can probably fit 3-4 medium size strawberries cut into qtrs.

I had the opposite problem, the holes were so small that I could hardly get the new plants in it. It didn't work well for strawberries or tomatoes. I would not purchase this again.

Seems like it would, I have used it with great success to eliminate some plants.

It will work on leafy greens with something heavy behind it, like a carrot or something other wise you'll have more green in the grinder. It will juice them though so far I'm satisfied with the product, expected a little bit more from it but it's OK. Only complaint frozen strawberries didn't work very well, there was juice but I had to take the machine apart and clean it. It's excellent for the price range though.
