Growing Strawberries In Containers Is Easy! Strawberries are made to grow in pots and containers on your patio or deck. Being shallow-rooted and quite undemanding, these fruiting favorites are an essential summertime snack that don’t need a ton of space to grow!
Strawberry plants need about 4″ of space between them to grow properly and optimally, so most large nursery pots can easily house multiple Strawberry crowns, ensuring you a bountiful summer harvest.
Use the tips and strategies in this video to provide you and your family the best-tasting organic fruit that money can’t buy!

Time to WINTERIZE your Strawberries…here's how!: https://youtu.be/kmUjcGaUImk
This one time ….at bandcamp… I swallowed…a strawberry
How often should you feed a potted strawberry, and what type fertilizer is recommended? Acidic right?
What do I do with my potted overwintered strawberry plant new leaves are coming up thru the straw
I love the way you explained. Thanks
You are so thorough!!! Thank you for all your videos!!
Plain, simple, informative. Thanks
Hi, if you see this i was wondering how long a pretty large strawberry patch would survive & keep coming back on it's own??
I gave my daughter a strawberry plant for mama s day. I hope the bears don’t get to it lol ! 😘
Thank you for sharing. What is a good brand of organic soil to use ? I want to try this and need a big bag, but not too pricey and still a good product. Help I’m new at this !😄
I read in a gardening magazine and also saw on the Epic Gardening channel that for everbearing strawberries, you pick the flowers off until early June. That gives the leaves more time to grow and develop, which helps produce more and larger strawberries for two harvestings after that. Your thoughts about this, please.
Sooo what if we don’t have anything to mulch the plant with
Good video, thx!
do they need direct sunlight all the time? my new apartment doesn't get direct sun by the patio for most of the day
After watching this… I put compost in my potting mix, didn’t layer enough mulch (thought it was too much so I removed it) and then overwatered them a lot. All except one have good roots still (I just added rocks because the soil was staying too wet and molding. I’ve lost 1 to root rot.) I’m going to try this. None of them have leaves as they all turned crispy and fell off. I’m learning I shouldn’t have given them composted manure and was overwatering. They DO have small buds of leaves as they’ve been incredibly resilient through my learning process. Do I need to totally get rid of the composted manure mixed dirt? It made up about 1/6 of the dirt in the container. Or should I treat them different since they are barely hanging on to life? 🙁 I’ve let the dirt almost totally dry out (no more mold!) and water them lightly every other day. I bought a water meter so I water as soon as it drops into dry, keeping them in the moist range.
I always think if I used grass clippings then grass seed will grow in my strawberries pot
Thank you
Just curious because I just got a strawberry plant: if I grow the plant in a pot and then get a bigger pot in the same season because the plants needs more space, would repotting mean no more strawberry’s until next year or would the plant recover in the bigger pot and then continue growing fruit? The strawberry’s are everbarring
Nice

So far this year I've had two strawberries too, but critter/s ate on them and left only bits and pieces. I am going to transplant them into hanging pots.
Is there a video on keeping pests away?
Thank you just the video I needed
Awesome video. Thank you for the fast and reliable information you always put out in your videos
I've got a strawberry plant in top of herb pot with flowering plants in other holes. Are the plants affecting the growth of strawberry as only had 2 so far?
Should I remove the runners that have started to grow out?
What should I do with strawberry pots in the winter? Should I leave them outside or bring them in? I live in Wisconsin zone 4/5
thank you you are such a good educator! Jeff can you do some videos on elderberries?
Your videos are perfect for me. I appreciate thorough explanations, which you do very well.
1. For Florida, Zone 9a, which strawberries do you suggest, and 2. Do you have links for the products you use? I'm specifically looking for garden straw (no weeds, hopefully) and grow bags.
Thanks!
Very informative video I just did what you shared with us with my strawberry plants given by a friend keep up the good work bro👍❤️🇿🇦
Loved this. I just bought two plants. This is perfect. ❤
Newsprint is filled with lead and arsenic.
Is this a Maine accent?
