Why don’t you just take a spade and cut the new starts free from the mother plant?
Oh, I want that t-shirt…
Hello Curtis I had to say I love your T-shirt
Very nice! In all honesty you really don't even need to add the extra compost. I have a boy who loves fresh strawberry. Thanx!
Curtis is that your Tesla?
10/10 on that t shirt!
Recently planted my first strawberries ever. Gifted from a nice lady on FB marketplace in the town over. Nice to see ya brother, I remember you from the market! Had no idea you were into the YouTube thing… that's awesome! I am happy to have found your channel. 389k suscribers..wow, congratulations!
Do you plant all the sections of the strawberry plant or do you throwaway the main one and use just the suckers? I’ve always heard the main ones are finished after two years and should be replaced?
how big are your beds? 2.5 feet wide?
Hmm…makes sense, any plant would want SPACE, not too be crowded in, each mother lode and sibling vying for the soil nutrients and the water, less competition here in their patch means higher productivity and great quality! Also diggin' that shirt, since english is universal, it'd do well here like that, but maybe a spanish translation would be better? lol….hope ya have a great week Curtis! 😀
Love the shirt!
Ah man, I want that t shirt! Where did you get it?
"Green side up is the important part" 😀 Thanks for the tip!
We need to have a shop with Curtis complete wardrobe available for purchase. Love the shirts brother. Great stuff great videos. Love the content. Love your book!
Great video! Nerd comment: if you have 5x left over after planting 1x, you actually 6x'd your original plants.
I'm calling it, by the end of august this year your channel will double, hard times ahead, this knowledge you're sharing is literally worth more than gold
Love the shirt, thanks for the tips, much appreciated.
Well…damn!
Can u do an update after that day??
I like that shirt. Lol
"Green side up is the important part."
.
So thats what I'm doing wrong
it is key to not bury the crown correct?
I like your efficient yet thorough approach. Strawberries are not something we need to overthink, we just need to do. I will be moving my strawberries I started at my elderly parents' last year to a far closer community garden.
this is a good video if you actually want the path of least resistance. if you dont mind a tiny bit more resistance than you should definitely dont let them multiply so much. first of all making runners non stop requires a lot of energy the plant could use otherwise. cutting away runners until harvest is done still gives more than enough runners if you want to dig up every year. also generally strawberry plants produce about double the amount of berries in the second year and a bit less than tht the year after. so by throwing all in one bin you dont know which are first or second years and potentially costing you a lot of harvest
What time of year do you recommend doing this? I have strawberries I planted in the wrong manner (a Pinterest idea, cute, but it didn’t work, too crowded), and I need to move them to a more spacious plot. Do I move them now, or in the spring? Also, how much sun do they need?
What month is it? Are you planting only runners?
but replanting such small plants wont make them fruit the same year, right?
You are spot on with this video….I think this is the best strawberry video I have watched on YT, there is no secret sauce, caring for or dividing plants does not need to be made into more of a burden with a time consuming unnecessary task of "pruning" dead leaves.
