More than likely, the strawberry was damaged by a slug, snail, or bird and the woodlice just found a cozy moist home ready made. Use row cover or bird netting for the birds and beer for the snails &slugs and see if the problem doesn't clear up. Gary

Good advice Gary, that's what I was thinking too.

Steve PS I'm surprised to find you over here. I'm used to seeing you on the orchid groups. :-)
