I like the idea of these. I’m concerned about our intense sun cooking the plants. Should I be concerned about that? TY
I’m praying my strawberries in the greenstalk make it. It’s been really cold and they are frozen solid. I mulched them with straw and they are covered with snow. 😅
Sorry if I missed this but how often do you fertilize the berries in the GS after this initial “wake-up”?
I am so jealous of these towers! They look amazing, but unfortunately they don't deliver to Europe
Another timely, and excellent video.
BOOM! Short and beneficial.
I’m wakening mine up today as well💃🏻
Hey Gary, do you just use the general AgroThrive product? I see the general purpose NPK is 3 3 2 and the flower one is 3 3 5. The flower is a bit more expensive so I am thinking the general purpose will do? I use fish but I am running low and thought I might give AgroThrive a try. Thanks, Kim
Got my seeds the other day … ready to go!
Omgggg couldn’t be more on time. Thank you
Great video. What times class next teach?
I'm loving all your practical no-nonsense advice. Thank you!
Just in time! I'm starting from scratch. I just got my delivery of Seascape Strawberry plants today. I'll be pre=soaking them tomorrow, then planting in one of my two GreenStalk Towers. The other one is for peppers. While the plants are soaking, I will sow seeds for Komatsuna, Boc Choy, Purple Top Turnips, Tokinashi Turnips, and Carrots. The raised bed has already been prepared. Also, I will be putting the greenhouse cover over the frame, and securing it to the base with furring strips. Then it will be ready fo4r planting tomatoes. I'll probably sprinkle some radish seeds and onion seeds in the extra space in front of them. In a day or two, I'll prepare raised bed number 7 for transplants. That will leave number 8 for peppers in April.
Looks like a great way to get an abundance of berries using just a little space!
What night time temps should I expect my strawberries to start to wake up?
What zone can you safely keep strawberries in the tower during the winter?
I have some that I need to move to another container-when is the best time to do this?
Question Gary: Would it be a good time of the year to dig some up and move them to a new bed? I'd like to start a new patch with a few and let the spread out this summer.
My Eversweet strawberries in Zone 8a Texas are already in bloom, with some green fruit. Not normal!
Love this! Reminded me to fertilize
Just placed my order for a 5 Tier and spinner! In zone 7a, once it arrives I will dig up and move my strawberries in it. I hope my strawberries don’t freeze next winter but looks like a great setup!
TY.. 1st yr I'ma gonna try strawberries. Hope there's nothing special I have missed… Glenda
I live in zone 6. What if I uncovered my strawberries and then we get snow?
Gary are day neutral strawberries any different than June bearing or everbearing? Thanks.
Who do you recommend ordering strawberries from ? I’ve had the worst luck ordering and getting horrible quality
Hi Gary, it's snowing at the moment here in New Jersey zone 7. Everyone was happy we had no snow, but somehow I knew we wouldn't get away entirely , were getting a little spoilt. I guess my strawberries won't be awoke as yet thanks for the heads up any
Thanks Rusty!
