After 3 years strawberries become big, overgrown, scraggly, messy, and unproductive. We learned the hard way and we paid for it. So in this video, we are discussing how and why you should rotate your strawberry beds.

Its good to have friends. my strawberries are doing absolutely nothing but not dying the won't speed or flower. I bout stater plant and it has flowers and produced a few rotten fruit and nothing since then.
Always put strawberries in containers.
I was looking for the proper medium for my plants, my plants have been non-productive the last few years.
I grew up with strawberries in the garden and learned to always rotate strawberries beds not only because plants get old but to control disease. So close to 10 years ago, I started raising my strawberries (and most of garden) in raised beds and will never go back. Around here in Ohio 25 plants are under $10 so in the spring I plant these in new beds (total of around 30ft). By next year the beds will be full of plants and we will be picking berries. After the second year of picking, I clean up the bed and have enough time to double crop beans and edamame. So I always have 2 seasons of June berries. Also, I never let my runners go out over the edge. Move them around to fill up your beds and out of those 25 plants your will have many many quarts.
Thanks I didn’t no that about strawberries now I no what is wrong with mine
Interesting to learn about the crown grown taller, with roots further away from the soil. Knowing this, do you think it's possible to trim the lower part of the crown, while leaving the upper part with some roots still attached, then planting it again?
How did you winterize the strawberry bed like that big??!
Our seeds arrived today! Jenna and I are super excited to plant these and grow some yummies. Also very proud to support y'all and this channel. For the record if anyone is thinking about ordering seeds from these guys do it! .99 cents?!?! Best deal around. Processed our order and shipped super fast. Thanks so much.
We did a raised bed for strawberries this year. Only our second year to try strawberries so we don't have the mat of old growth yet.
Thanks for the post. We re-planted about 200 strawberry plants two years ago into a well fertilized and composted bed. They had been in the original beds for who knows how long, definitely undernourished and in need of a change. We got a good harvest the first (last) year. After mulching with leaves at the end of last season and mulching further with straw this year we had a very good crop and the plants look amazing.
I have moved strawberries and gotten a great crop the following year! Even better because they were spaced out and could get more sun.
Tip: when I move mine I am sure to keep them moist and in soil when moving them. Although, strawberries are pretty tough!
In your site the garlic it's out of stock just for now or for the rest of the year ?
Do u re plant the same year or next year
Why can’t you just mound around the strawberries?
My.grandpa never moved his…there for 60 years
Hello. Love all your videos. I, like a lot of people , am a first time gardener. I created 3 raised beds this season. At first I just filled them with dirt but after a while I got really tired of weeding. After doing some research I decided to mulch the bed. Its been great. Cuts down on watering and weeds are a thing of the past. My question is: Do I turn the mulch under at the end of the season? Next year if I plant from seed, I would think I would have to remove the mulch as the mulch is about 3" thick. Seeds won't be able to come through. Just curios as how you handle mulch in your garden.
Is this the time of year to do this? Or is there a better time to do this?
How often do you have to do this?
You should sell me some of the old plants you have on your website. I'd highly appreciate it. It's become impossible to find plants
Can I dig up my Easter lily bulbs now the flowers are done. They are in the strawberry bed. I want to dig it up and replant. I'm having the same problem. Low productivity. Old plants.
HELP!!
something is eating my vegetables.
I've decided to have three beds of strawberries and one bed of garlic. Since garlic is harvested early august, I will replant the garlic bed with strawberries and, in october, change the three year old strawberry bed to garlic.
Hey check out curtis stones ,ideas about strawberries
I see to put those in a higher raised bed so runners can be cut easier without hitting the ground and running..
God tip. Thanks for sharing.
I have strawberries in pots i don't have a strawberry bed . Strawberries are my favorite food. I'm constantly buying them.
I am a lazy gardener. I rake through the bed every late winter, pulling out the debris and the large berry plants. Then backfill with compost and amendments. Same beds for decades.
Can you cut the roots off of an old plant and re-root the mother plant?
