    I have a greenstalk full of strawberries, to save money the first year I only planted strawberries in every other tier. When the runners started to set I used a landscape staple to hold them in the nearest empty pocket. The "empty" pockets I planted with annual flowers just to be pretty until the runners started to root in. Also, I'm in Knoxville Tennessee where geenstalk was invented and still produced so we LOVE a greenstalk.

      Great idea. We got our first GreenStalk this month. I bought it for strawberries, which we will plant next year. This week we planted some lettuce plants and radish seeds. The radishes started to come up in a couple days.

    Laura, you should try rooting your runners in water! You can take an empty 72 count seed starting tray and put a runner in each one of the pockets to keep them upright. Then fill the bottom watering tray up half way with water and you'll have fully rooted plants in a few weeks that are ready to be potted up in soil. I found this to be much more reliable than establishing them in soil and I've tripled my strawberry crop this year with this technique. Enjoy!

    I had great success with the babies when I planted them (still attached to the mother) in a small clear disposable plastic cup of soil. I used “alligator clips” to attach the cups directly to the greenstalk. I water each little cup separately of course and I used straight hairpins to attach to each baby to keep contact with the soil. When I start to see roots in the little clear cups, I remove the baby from the mother and plant the baby with the roots. I clip the weaker babies and try to only have one baby per greenstalk section. That gives me up to 30 new plants. At first I tried to root every baby but it was hard to manage. Pick the strongest baby per mother plant to propagate and clip the rest every time they emerge until the baby in each cup roots. I hope my explanation was not confusing.

    I put all cut-off runners into a plastic container, or old pickle jar/mason jar with water in the bottom that covers the entire base of the plant, sometimes it even goes up over the leaves, if it rains the container might be full of water until I empty a part of it. Roots will grow this way effortlessly. Once you see root, then plant it. You might loose a plant once in a blue moon, but majority roots for replanting.

    I learned so much today! Our strawberry patch is in 5 large pots along the south side of our house. We started over with fresh plants this year and have had pretty good success. The couple of pots that seemed to not produce I am realizing I added some soil after planting and maybe buried their crowns.

    In the spring I cut all the runners from my bugleweed and filled trays with the babies and they rooted beautifully. I ended up with about 300 baby bugleweed plants to fill in around a stepping stone path on the side of my house that usually just fills with regular weeds. My hope is that when the bugleweed fills in and creates a blanket it will suppress the weeds. It's only an area towards my gas meter and air conditioning unit and we don't usually frequent back there. But its quite shady so I've added some hosta, heuchera and Japanese painted ferns just for some fun and colour. I used two different bugleweed as well, chocolate chip and burgundy glow. I'm obsessed with burgundy glow because of the pink white and green variegation. I can't wait to see it on a large scale 😊

I dont ever want it to get like that again.

    My dad would let the runners spread and in fall he would use a shovel to chop between the plants to break the running “thread”. The next year he would pull the mother plant and the babies would fill in as they grew and shot out their own runners. The production level of strawberries was crazy!!

I have away 24 double mother plants with most having babies and then found room for about 16 more! I think I will be switching over my strawberry beds to Dollar tree planters that "look like" minnie Greenstalks. I will see how the 16 plants do in them. So far so good. Currently I use laundry baskets lined on the inside and planted on top and through the holes in the sides. I leave space in the holes to start the babies. Excited for harvesting next year! 💜💚💙💛🐸😎

    This was perfect timing. I just bought a greenstalk specifically for strawberries, but I thought I'd plant it in the spring. I'm glad to hear I can do this now (zone 7), in preparation for next year. I had my plants in a container, however, I didn't get much production. Thanks for the information.

    So timely! I just took some babies and potted them up but buried them so I ran out and pulled them up to the top. Love the idea of growing in these green stalks going forward. My plant was in a big raised pot but love those green stalk containers!

    Greenstalk does sell a frost cover, and an insect protection cover for the greenstalk. I have used it and it works well. In early Spring when it was still cold there was actually a small bird that was hanging out under the cover. You can tie the ends tighter if needed. The covers are sturdy and great quality that can also be used for any plant, with it being nice and tall.

    I cut my runner baby’s off of the mother plant and plant right in the ground. They almost always root. So easy to rejuvenate your strawberry patch. Laura you may be surprised if you grow one of the green stocks over winter. Just to see how many berries you get. Cool nights and warm days promote blooms

    I'm so happy this video followed up another one of yours that I was watching! I've been wanting a green stalk for a while and I clicked on your link for green stalk. They are having a sale that ends today, and I was able to get a beautful light green greenstalk for $89 along with your $10 code! Shipping and handling plus taxes made it $111. The time to plant strawberry plants in FL is just starting, I can't wait to plant my berries in my greenstalk!

    Definitely going to turn my unused greenstalk garden into a strawberry tower! I have SOME Berried Treasure strawberries growing in pots on the deck, but this year was a bust for them…small berries and not very tasty. After watching your video I learned so much about growing strawberries, I’m ready to give it another go, and see what happens! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and tips with us, so very helpful!

  • @heathertebb645
    @heathertebb645 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have, in stressed curcumstances, taken the runners from the parent plant, snipped off the individual runner plants and like you "soft" planted the babies. The ones that have taken have had like you commented, had the basal nodes that rooted. So worth a try. Did this with a fantastic strawberry that was literally going to be bulldozed. Thankfully it worked and they are wonderfull, but no idea of the variety.

  • @maureengee364
    @maureengee364 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yes great strawberries. I didn’t know that if you’re plant has so many runners you won’t get berries. So I did bury some of the runners and they took and cut the other’s off. I then started to get fruit. Great project. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

    Perfect timing on this video. I have a new greenstalk that I wanted to plant in all strawberries. My current one has several with babies. I've cleaned out a lot of the spent plants, and the babies are rooting in the empty pockets. My plan was to to move them to every other pot and let the future babies root in between. You gave me a lot of information I didn't know. Thank you. How cold can it get without harming them? I wasn't sure about leaving them outside vs moving to the garage which has some heat. It was unusually cold last winter here in Kentucky.

  • @2BitRanch
    @2BitRanch ปีที่แล้ว

    I clipped some small nursery pots to the side of the pockets and popped the runners in there to root. I used a plastic clip.

  • @beckysnead8914

    Forget raised beds, especially for your situation. Dig a trench 2 or 3 feet next to a row of strawberries. Voila! No kneeling.
