Expert Response
Moss in strawberries is unusual, as the berries generally require full sun, and moss grows mostly in shade.
Share a couple of photos, please. One relatively close of an area with moss, as identifying the type is helpful to control decisions. Second, a shot from further away, to show the whole berry patch and surrounding garden. The sun/shade and water drainage is another key to understanding moss.
Lastly, how is your berry crop? Is the moss a concern because of how it looks?
