Thanks for sharing! Please keep us posted on how your strawberries grow.
Thanks
Do you plan to overwinter the strawberries in the GreenStalk’s?
This was perfectly timed for me, as I’m planting out my bare root Ozark Beauties in my Greenstalk today! What a great tip about the root-booster solution—I followed suit! Thanks so much for sharing and helping!
THANK YOU!
ANSWERED SO MANY OF MY QUESTIONS
I got the green stalk planter to grow strawberries in a couple of years ago.we had on the patio. It worked wonderfully, in fact my brother in law visiting out of state ordered one as soon as he got home. I did purchase the cover for the planter to protect the plants over winter. Love that you can take apart to refresh and clean out any weeds.
Can you tell me one more time where you purchased your bare roots. Thank You
What are the varieties that you choose again? thank you!
Does the GreenStalk come with the base that turns or are they all sold separate?
Great idea, thanks
Thanks for this video, got my first GreenStalk yesterday, Saturday, and planted strawberries in it. Thinking about getting the rolling dolly for mine and maybe another Greenstalk.
I tried strawberries in my Greenstalk last year (Spring 2021). They were varieties suited for the southern Californian coastal zone (Zone 10). I used a potting soil I mixed myself, one that I have used with good results in planters over the years. Results were not good: The strawberry plants died one by one over the spring and through the summer. I was careful with watering and rotating the Greenstalk stack to maximize exposure to the sun. I am an experienced gardener with over 70 years of growing plants in all sorts of environments, soils, and climate zones. So I'm puzzled by my lack of success here. There are a few plants left but they are not doing well, whereas the snow peas I planted in the empty cells are doing very well as are a few succulents and flowers I am trying. I did manage to save a few plants that gave off runners and I planted these in containers. Right now they are loaded with fruit. I'll find other uses for the Greenstalk, but I found it a waste of time as far as strawberries are concerned. I'll be interested in hearing how Jill will do with her plants.
Hello! This is my firs year of using the greenstalk planter. Could you please write down the bags of soil and fertilizer and castings that you used? Thank you so much!
So glad I found you, subscribed. Thank you.
So what did you find to be better planting and growing the strawberries in, the regular green stalk or the leaf version? ~ Laurie
The great thing about the Greenstalk planters is that the tiers are interchangeable in a vertical stack. You could've used 2 or 3 of the original and 2 or 3 of the Leaf tiers on the same stack, instead of having two different stacks, to test the pocket size to see which would be better for the plants.
I bought the Mover base with wheels. Would have been nice to know the Ultimate spinner base also could come with wheels. That looks so much better to be able to spin AND move. Does it hold the same amount of weight?
Can you reuse the soil from last year??
I just ordered all eversweet based on stark brothers recommendation for getting strawberries in the first year. I am interested in seeing if the others you planted produce in the first year. I noticed in their comments to another customer that eversweet were the ones they sold that would produce somewhat heavily. I received them today and I am planting tomorrow
how to buy these in germany? I want to but they are not shiping outsite the usa or canada.. :/
Planted strawberries in a small row on side of backyard shed. Was a disaster. I had no idea they were so invasive. They spread under neighbors’ fences & expanded out in my lawn. Couple years later I was forced dig them all up from mine & my (thankfully forgiving) neighbors’ property. Planted alot of grass seed for everyone’s troubles
I need to give them a call and see if i can get a discount if i buy in bulk.
Great video thank you! Would you use the REv on strawberry plants that are already in dirt with leaves and some flowers prior to planting?
Oh no I used raised bed soil!!!!!!
Hi! I bought my first green stalk. And they had the pro mix at home depot. But it looked different than your bag. It didn't have the LP15 it just said potting mix. Do u think it's the same? And where did u get yours? Thanks
Great video. I have tried a couple times to grow strawberries with no luck. Killing the plant each time but I see now I was planting at the wrong depth, either too deep or not deep enough. Thanks for the video
can't wait to see an update on this, i wanted to plant strawberries in my vertical garden too but wasn't sure if i would be better off using the new leaf size!
