Strawberry leaves Browning from edges in and Dried up Fruit

[myfirstgarden]

I have a strawberry plant in about a 6 inch wide 18 inch long container. It takes up about 1/3 of the container. Recently the leaves have been browning from the edges inward. The fruit is small and looks dried. It was producing healthy nice fruit until I put bone meal on it. I am thinking I put to much (potassium overdose). Does this look like potassium burn? If so, what should I do? If not, what is happening to my poor plant? I will continue researching. Any information will be very much appreciated. Thanks, Emily

I transplanted a couple plants into my garden- right before a dry and hot spell. They looked just as you described. Sunburned and brown. I see that those leaves have actually died off now, but new ones are emerging...I would say water it good and deep and keep your fingers crossed!

Flood the container with water to flush out excess fertilizer. If your daily temperatures are getting much over 80F, shade them from mid day and evening sun.

A few weeks ago I put some fertilizer on my strawberries, and about killed all my plants!! Over half of them just "burned up"!! I was thinking I had to thin them out, but now now! They are coming back. Thankfully!!
