great update on how your and dougs journey began , "at a school " !!! Love it . Wonderful to hear from the cropking team on the many parts of the training . Wonderful idea to give a "peak" into the logical and suggested process of growing great food and how to get there. THe white tape for the straw berries. I did a quick search on 2 inch wide webbing . Reminded me of hvac duct webbing. However after more reading , you will likely consider the added UV inhibators in the webbing , if it does not effect the plant health. Pretty smart growing idea. :) When is your last market of the year ? In the winter does it turn to just CSA sales ? I always enjoy what you both share. thanks in advance.

it was a pretty cool system but hopefully it gives you some ideas on what you could do to improve your system. Like you are researching the tape. Just my thought on UV. After time you end up getting rid of something like the tape after a growing season or two because it just gets dirty etc. Some of the stuff in growing is just throw away.... I'm thinking the tape Is a good example of that. I'm going to try and fins a cheap replacement that does the same thing. We have used string which works fine but something a little wider would work better. Last market of the year is second week of October. we extend the strawberry season hopefully this year to December and sell all our berries to our CSA program.

Hi. A very good system, but experience has shown that the flower stalks will break on the sharp edges of the pot. It is advisable to make a ribbon for the flower stalks and pull the thread for the leaves above.

Your strawberries go in the green house around April. When do you pull them out? What are the signs you might look for to make that call?

Do you start your strawberries from seed or do you buy the plants already sprouted? I have attempted to start strawberry seeds with no luck.

we buy bare root plants. they are fairly inexpensive and if you can find some other people who need plants.... the more you buy the cheaper the per plant cost is.

How often and how long do you water your strawberries ie: I do 3-4 minutes 4 times a day and think it might be too much. I'm using 75% perlite and 25% vermiculite I seem to get a lot of algae growth that is a bed for nats.

🤷‍♂️ what are your plants telling you? Bump it down to 3x’s a day or 2-3 min then see what they say 👍 algae? You feeding the roots or just watering the top and letting water soak thru? Somewhere there’s light getting thru to the nutrient solution don’t feed the microbes , that’s my amateur opinion 🤔😳 good luck hope you get a good crop! 👍 ✌️

in the high tunnel strawberries, we water 3 times a day for 2 minutes and like Rawb said we watch the plants to see if we need to increase. You're right the nats are a problem if to wet. We are looking a making a top for our bato buckets that will keep the medium covered and not allow sunlight to hit top of growing medium. Will keep you updated.

Hi, I'm just starting to research hydroponic products to set up strawberries under a tunnel in British Columbia Canada. Temperatures dip to -27C for a couple of days each winter. So just lookingvat extending summer growing seasonI. love your more cost effective set up. Can you please provide me with the specs for your saw horses, height you have your pots set at, distance between your saw horses and distance between your rows? Are your pots draining to the groind beneath? Do those pots have a groove underneath to run a collector drain pipe? What automated system do you use for your pH and EC. Filter? Appreciate any info. you can share. Susan

Coco coir is a byproduct of coconut fiber. It was first used in gardening in the West in the 19th century, but fell out of favor because the low-quality coco available at the time degraded when used for short-term growing. Toward the end of the 20th century, it was rediscovered as an organic, environmentally sustainable substrate when new production methods made it possible to create hardier product. Coco coir is manufactured using fiber that’s torn from coconut shells. The tiny grains of coir are extracted from the coconut shell and pulverized into a packable growing substrate. First, the coconuts go through the retting process, a curing method that naturally decomposes the husk’s pulp. Traditionally, coconut husks were immersed in water for six months or longer to decompose. Today, the retting process can be completed in a little over a week using modern mechanical techniques. Next, the coconut fiber is removed from the shells by steel combs, in a process known as defibering. Once the fiber, or coir, is gathered from the husk, it’s then dried, pressed into bricks, discs, coir pots. or bagged as a loose mulch. In this dried, processed state, the coir is ready to sell and use.

Don't get hung up on that strawberry system. That's a tremendous amount of wasted material and infrastructure to solve the problem of wet feet and growth separation. Stick with your wooden horses and if you really feel the need to just run your own vegetation lines across to separate fruit from leaf.
