Novice gardener here! I planted a few strawberry starts about two weeks ago, and all of their leaves end up turning brown and crunchy from the outside in. When the current leaves have browned, a new green one sprouts up, but then once it gets larger that one will start to brown too. This has happened on each plant at least three times. My soil is pretty heavy clay, but I tried to amend it with some steer manure before I planted the strawberries. Also I live in the Central Valley in CA (Zone 8 ) so it gets really hot. I'm just trying to figure out whether this is due to transplant shock, poor drainage, not enough water, soil chemical imbalance, or some disease. Again, I'm a beginner and trying to learn as I go but this is giving me trouble as its my third attempt at planting strawberries. I have tomatoes and peppers in the garden too that are thriving if that helps rule out any of the possibilities.
Thanks a bunch in advance!
