I have sweet charlie, honeoye and winterdawn I'm just a beginner I bought it at online shop so far my sweet charlie have now runners I'm so excited everyday looking at them even our country is a tropical country but still they survived thank you for your videos I love to watch it
Greetings, I have a raised strawberry bed that needs total renovation. I did not educate myself well enough before I planted and in just two year I need to renovate. First, I planted them too close together and second, I did not remove any runners so now my bed is very crowded! In addition, as you stated in your video, I also need to add soil to my bed because the soil level has dropped significantly. I guess I am just seeking assurance that to do my renovation I need to dig up the entire bed, choose and set aside healthy, well rooted daughter plants, fill my bed and replant the daughter plants? Then of course mulch with straw and remove flowers till July. I'm guessing it's too late this year to do such renovation? I live in border line zone 4 and 5, not sure that would give them enough time to establish themselves? They are still trying to fruit right now but they are way too close and fruits and plants are not that healthy. I appreciate your time and advice! :)
Great Great video!! I need to do this to mine! I want to wait until the are done producing fruit b4 I get a new bed set up for my new plants! I want to keep them separate from the old ones. I have some new daughter plants and im so excited to get them set up. I want them to give me big n beautiful red berries just like you have. What do you normally use for your strawberry 🍓 plants? Food wise. Bone meal/fish meal...I'm still learning how to raise a bed.
Can you do a video about dealing with insect & bird problems? I planted some everbearing plants last year and seems like any time fruit ripens there is damage to the fruit. Thanks!
Where are you located and what time of year do you refresh your strawberry beds? I live in south Texas and my strawberries are already producing and should be finished by June 1. When should I pull out all the extra plants that are in that bed? Thank you
Sounds like you have June bearing strawberries. Is that right? For those, you need to renovate the bed after your berries are done producing. You will basically thin the patch and only leave the healthy young plants. Then you will mow the plants down to about an inch above the crown. Fertilize the berries then leave them be. If I’m wrong and you have Everbearing, I would renovate when the plants are dormant or not producing in early spring. I live on WA state and I did this process in early April. Hope this helps.
Imo strawberries do not have a clock on when they go bad. The issue is the mother plant i believe grows so many crowns, like 15 plants in one plant and it just cannot substain itslef well. Iheard something called crown division bassicly you take that big mother plant and you cut it the most you can you might end up with 10-15 plants depending on the roots. Some of my crown division had two crowns but one of the crowns had no roots so cutting it out will end up just pretty much killing that cutting
Do you always have to remove your strawberry plants every year to freshen the bed up;to get it ready for a new growing season? Or can I not just top up with more compost and worm casting every year and replace old plants? Thr thing Im concerned about if i top up that the crowns get burried and the plant will die..?
You can add a little soil and compost around the plants but after a few years they really need to be planted elsewhere or replanted like what I show here. You’re absolutely right that you risk burying the crowns and the plants would die.
Strawberries are really some for of passive income if you really think about it. But some varieties are patented and have not yet expired i do know albion be grown can be sold commercially in 2024.
If done in the fall, you take a chance that the new baby plants root systems aren’t fully established before freezing temps come. They may do okay, especially in mild winters. If you have to do it in the fall, they would do well with an extra layer of mulch and maybe even a row cover to protect them. Hope that helps!
Your son is absolutely so sweet and adorable. I miss when my get a few son’s were young like that sometimes.💕
Thank you!

Chandler is my favorite so far.
Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll look into it.

Is it possible to do this renovation in the fall? Middle of October zone 6. I’ve heard that strawberries are pretty hardy.
