Interesting! Didn't know that. Im starting a hydro system for strawberries. I love growing in the ground and food guilds! Yet i prefer hydro now for using less water and having fewer pests. (I have only rainwater, so must ration).One upside is hydro won't have that problem like soil.
Thank you! I planted strawberries in a whole bed by themselves a few years ago, and they got crowded so I pulled a few plants to start making a mini guild. The strawberries in the original patch are sickly but the ones in the guild are more healthy! Now I know why….
Monoculture for mass production is very tidy and effective year after year in small batches for strawberries. Wilding isn't conducive to seeing snakes!
Classic internet exaggeration. The berries shown are of uniform size with perfect stems and absent any of the imperfections one would expect in “the wild”. It may or may not be AI but I just don’t buy it. The narrative has a Henry Thoreau theme of nature’s perfection if just left to grow wild.
In a couple months I’m going to plant strawberries, garlic, asparagus under an apple tree or two! I might even add chives, borage and some other plants. We’ll see! I’m glad I came across your video because so many videos have strawberries planted in a raised bed and talk about fertilizer and stuff and I’m planning a food forest not a monoculture garden.

How are animas not gobbling those up?
Pretty sure I see onions in there too

This is great but mint takes over. I've planted it in a bed before and will never make that mistake again 😂
What’s with the eye of Horace on this guys shirt? 😂
I grow my strawberries within a bed of flowers, chives, raspberries, and blackberries. It's a fun hunt for little red treasures.
Be careful make sure they aren't the Indian strawberries, they'll kill you
strawberry leaves have needles on them that when i brush my skin around them, they give a slight sting and then later a light itch/burn
I'm fixing to try to grow a single plant inside.

Oh, that explains why my strawberries have started struggling!
They are just strawberries, all strawberries are organic
You look like werner ziegler from better call saul
so you'd recommend planting companion plants for containers too?
Such bullshit. Native or "original" strawberries don't grow that big. That's human selection.
The microplastics in my body don't deserve organic. 😂
Ok, so he used the word “magical.” People who want you to believe in magic want to sell you bullshit in some way.
Are strawberries organic? Are the ones from the supermarket inorganic?
Thanks for the insight into how polycultures work
Plant and forget
I'll bet yall all dont have chickens free-ranging. Strawberries lasted until the first pale blush, and then……….😢
