Straw for the Strawberries.

Firstly I wonder if thats where they got their name (never thought about it before).
Two of the Strawberry plants I bought have done really well over the past month (both Elsanta) the final one (Cambridge Favorite) has been infested with aphids and ants :( no amount of spraying with soapy water is getting rid of them.
My first strawberry was ready for eating the other day :) (delicious) a lot though had been sitting on the soil, I'm surprised they hadn't rotted.
A 3 mile walk and a 40p bag of straw from the farm shop later.
I can now stop worrying :)
