This is year's thinned out 'patchy patch' with raised strawberry mounds and no weed mat or straw. I thought I'd try to give the slugs and snails fewer places to hide and it seems to be working. 
Even with less plants (too lazy to replant the runners) I'm still pulling out a punnet's worth every 3 or 4 days. It's so good not to worry about how much they cost and eat big handfuls at a time, especially as I know they have not been sprayed with anything. Strawberries are one of those commercial crops that get a lot of pesticide treatment: http://www.thedailygreen.com/healthy-eating/eat-safe/strawberries-pesticide-residue#slide-11. This variety is seriously sweet - Cambridge Rival.
