They are not on the web site. You have to call them. Let them know we sent you and they will take great care of you. Oh... they are just called strawberry bato buckets
Instead of crimping the spaghetti tubes before removing a trough, we just predrilled a second hole in the end of each trough. Before removing a trough, we stick the spaghetti tube into the extra hole of the adjacent trough. It’s simpler and the tubes don’t get clogged as easily.
So I bought hydroponic strawberries for the first time today, and they were amazing!! I’ve never had such big, red, ripe, juicy sweet strawberries! You may not know the answer to this, but I thought I would ask anyway. I got these strawberries from Walmart and they are the brand Ocean Spray. I know that it is a huge company, but I was hoping that hydroponics meant that they didn’t have to spray with chemicals on those berries. Do you have any idea if the strawberries would have been sprayed with chemicals? I’m sure that you don’t spray yours with chemicals, but I wondered if some thing that is mass produced like that would have chemicals on them.
Hello. My question is on your trays. First can you get them in any length? Plus do they come with the holes in them for the plants? Joe from Springfield Mo.
Great to see you again! I’m keeping notes too. Have a a lot of things in my garden…..in hind sight, too many. Keeping notes too so I can adjust next time. Your peppers and strawberry’s look fantastic! Take care!
Is it possible for you to grow your tomatoes, peppers and strawberries organically through your hydroponics? I am trying to understand the health and nutrient benefits of organic growing vs nutrient growing and the negative effects of the nutrients. Thanks
so, all of the nutrients are natural mined products. Not technically certified organic. Organic growing can sometimes be misleading because they still use chemicals in pest control and herbicide. The companies that produce these chemicals just paid to get them certified organic. We combat that with insect exclusion and careful greenhouse practices, so we don't have to spray. we think hydroponic is superior in every way.
I grew some bell peppers in the greenhouse, our temperatures are too cold for outside. In the end we had a battle between the rats and the peppers. I tried cage traps, left them set and caught two eastern brown snakes, that came in after the rats, (4 mg of snake poison and it’s good night Irene). We also have a lizard that loves strawberries.
For the peppers I keep mine in Namibia, from year to year, growing outdoors only covering in case of frost. They slow during the winter! The Kumquats, Limes and Lemons continue during the winter! Southern Hemisphere!
I find if you leave the flowers, you’ll get smaller berries but more berries sooner. If you clip blooms you end up with larger berries but fewer berries and they take more time.
We are really looking for late season berries. Right now, in our area we are the only ones producing strawberries. The June berries are done and that was the plan. To be able to supply the market when everyone else is done and carry that over to the winter.
Wonderful to see you again, its like catching up with a friend every time you post
Great suggestion! We will do a in depth video on number of seeds per variety.
Glad you are back! Glad you had a good time w the grandkids!! WE missed you!! ❤❤❤
You're the best!
Very nicei nice glad your back!!
So nice farmer hi
I know you get your strawberry buckets from cropking, but what are they called. I have been all over their website and can't find them...???
I’ve been looking for those buckets that hang on the rails too.
They are not on the web site. You have to call them. Let them know we sent you and they will take great care of you. Oh... they are just called strawberry bato buckets
❤❤
It's all good K. 👍🏽👍🏽 Glad this season is keeping your farm busy !! Hope you and the rest of the Family is doing well!!.
Beautiful peppers. Enjoy your summer and thank you for sharing as time allows.
I’m glad to see y’all again. Thank you for all you share.

That a good idea... thank you

I'm not sure. We don't spray and just have to watch our plants very carefully. But you are right the strawberries are amazing
Hello. My question is on your trays. First can you get them in any length? Plus do they come with the holes in them for the plants? Joe from Springfield Mo.
I think you can get them in any length. They come in two pieces with the tops having the holes.
Great to see you again! I’m keeping notes too. Have a a lot of things in my garden…..in hind sight, too many. Keeping notes too so I can adjust next time. Your peppers and strawberry’s look fantastic! Take care!
Sounds great!
Always good to see you do what you do so well guys!
Love y’all

wow that does not sound fun. I thought bugs were a problem.
I have kept pepper going for 3 year before the production slowed
WOW that's awesome. We are going to try and keep them for at least a year or so
For the peppers I keep mine in Namibia, from year to year, growing outdoors only covering in case of frost. They slow during the winter! The Kumquats, Limes and Lemons continue during the winter! Southern Hemisphere!
Great crops! Good tip on nipping the strawberry runners.
Thanks
What type of strawberry did you plant
Albion produces all year and has a great flavor and berry size
Beautiful garde, and you are the best plant there
So nice of you
Glad to see the new video, have been wondering what happened to you. Look forward to future ones. Berries looked amazing
Where did you buy these strawberry troughs?
CropKing... you have to call them they are not listed on the website. Let them know we sent you and they will take great care of you
Just found you, thanks for sharing .
Thanks for watching!

Can I ask what lights you are using and how many are in your green house. Also what size is the greenhouse. Thank you
its a 2 bay 44 by 130 and the lights are Nextlight we did a video on them if you would like to watch th-cam.com/video/5DkMteOkVms/w-d-xo.html
I just had Raccoons raid my strawberries this week too, but they tore out the plants and all.
Hate raccoons. Friend lost 25 chickens to them last week. They just killed them for the fun of it. Not one eaten.
