My grandfather ran a truck farm. He would drive a tractor with cultivation equipment down the field moving the strawberries to the left or right each year about 10”. Each year, three times left three times right. Giving about 24” paths to walk down. They’re definitely hardy. All he would say is he’s making a new pathway for people to pick them up.

Have you ever heard of electro culture? It works amazingly when you apply the idea to strawberry plants. You won’t need to use as much fertilizer either, the plants will produce sooner and keep producing all season long. The only negative is the electro culture makes the weeds grow faster too. I know people normally scoff at the concept, I challenge anyone that thinks it does not make any sense and it doesn’t work to try it on anything you are growing for 2 weeks, you won’t stop when the 2 weeks are up, I don’t know how it works but it works. Edit; when I put the rig up at my strawberry plants, I noticed the difference in the growth rate over the first night.

My husband's parents had a 38-acre organic strawberry farm, they were the most delicious and biggest strawberries. It was a U-pick or buy them at the strawberry shack in already packed pails/boxes. They were very busy every time they had strawberries for sale. They also used young geese to do the weeding for them, which worked great. They would let them loose every morning and the geese would eat the weeds all day long and leave the developing berries and strawberry plants alone. However, once the berries matured, the geese would take to eating the berries, so his parents would sell off the geese to the Hutterites for processing and get a new batch of young geese the following spring. I wish you all the best in your plans for a strawberry farm. It's a lot of work and very rewarding.

I just learned so much from your video that I haven’t heard from other videos!!!!!!!! I heard about the “runner” but no one explained in detail and “showed” how the runner produces a “new” plant….. did I understand correctly that the runner can continue making up to 15 new plants??? And how many mother plants are there just one? And do you have to pull them up every year to amend the soil? This is my first year planting strawberries and I bought bare roots and I put five plants in two flower boxes…… so next year I take them out and then Amend the soil and replant them back in the flower boxes? I bought “Honeoye” Bare-Root strawberries….. they are looking good. A couple have started flowering. I planted them on 5-3-23 Zone 7B…..ty and I subscribed 🥰👵🏻. Still learning…

What kind of mulch do you use? Thank you!

I don't mulch them currently. I used wood chips in the past.

hello, great video! i have a couple of questions. so 4 years ago, I planted just 3 little strawberry plants and since then, I've got red, juicy, and sweet fruit. However, these plants have started to spead rapidly, and I planted them in the ground, so these taking over about half my whole entire garden! I love my strawberries, but this is too much and they're even getting into my lawn! Ive been thinking about making a raised bed, and I was wondering if I should just get rid of all my old strawberries and get new ones in the bed or take the best-looking mother plants from my garden? the ones I've had are 4 years old, and I'm not sure if they'll continue to spread in the bed. thanks!

Thanks. Take the best looking mother plants and the biggest ones and keep them. Compost the rest or sell them.

6:45 Strawberries prefer slightly acid soil (pH 5.3 to 6.5), not slightly alkaline.

Do you do anything to protect the strawberries over winter?

No, but we have mild winters. If you are further north, you can cover them on straw or hay.

I am in Wisconsin. Just getting out to my strawberry patch. Most plants have flowers already. So I am pretty sure I shouldn’t be digging them up and moving them at this time. What do you think?

@CountryLivingExperience Жыл бұрын

I have dug mine up with flowers and green fruit on them before. They didn't seem to mind at all. They have produced just as well as normal.

There are hundreds of varieties. You will have to see what the best varieties for your area are.

So do you keep them in the ground from plant up until the next year 6-8 weeks before last frost ?

@CountryLivingExperience 4 ай бұрын

Yes, usually.

Wow, those runners are like umbilical cords. Lol. All my strawberries burned up last year. Try, try again.

2 questions 1. I live in zip code 75762 am I in zone 8 or 8b? 2. I have a dwarf pear tree bought at lowes several yrs. ago. Do not know variety. Last few years the pears are hard and not ripening tree done or what do I need to do?

@CountryLivingExperience Жыл бұрын

You should be in 8b. It may be the variety of pear. There are eating pears and canning pears. Usually canning pears are sold at the big box stores. Additionally pears ripen off the tree. Check out the video we did on pears.....kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mdt9jNKqy9uXn3U.html
