Since I started mulching my strawberries with wood chips over shredded leaves (because of jumping worms) and a perennial cover crop of thyme, my strawberries have really almost doubled in size. I believe it is due to the increase in the fungal composition of the soil. All I fertilize with is home raised worm castings and a few compost/worm teas throughout the year. One year I gave too much nitrogen, had huge plants but tiny berries. Enjoy your channel, Stay Well!!!!

Yes, it's perfectly fine to add earthworms to a composting system, such as a bucket, and feed them small amounts of kitchen scraps. Earthworms are excellent decomposers and play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter into nutrient-rich compost. When feeding earthworms kitchen scraps, it's important to provide them with a balanced diet. Avoid feeding them large amounts of acidic or oily foods, dairy products, meat, or citrus fruits! CK

Happy 13th birthday Mac!!! Another great video Kim! ❤❤❤ Turns out that I’m doing strawberries well. Got 6 out of 8 bases covered. Only growing Everbearing (bought a flat of 6 to share with mom) and inconsistent watering/feeding, which I’m working on figuring out. Straw mulch has helped a ton with that 😅 I do have a question about the leaves. Some of mine have areas that are kinda dark; some around edges and some towards the middle. Should I be concerned or is it normal? I’ve seen other peoples strawberry plants have them too ❤❤❤❤❤ Gonna look into the Monterey line for sure, slugs like our sunflower patch (rip to my moms sunflowers) 😢 In the Livestream there was a spray that helped with powdery mildew; gonna grab that too. ❤

@CaliKim29

Dark areas on strawberry leaves can be a sign of fungal disease, nutrient deficiency, or environmental stress. It’s important to accurately diagnose the issue by closely inspecting the leaves and considering recent care and environmental conditions. Look closely at the pattern and location of the dark areas. Check for other symptoms such as white powder (powdery mildew), concentric rings (leaf spot), or irregular patterns (leaf blight). Early intervention, such as removing affected leaves, improving plant care, and using appropriate treatments, can help manage and mitigate these problems. If the issue persists or worsens, consider consulting with a local Nursery for their input - CaliKim

16 күн бұрын

If you have space, bringing the strawberry pot indoors to an unheated garage, shed, or basement can protect the plants from the harshest winter conditions. Ensure the location stays cool but does not freeze, ideally between 35-45°F (1.5-7°C). Hope this helps - CK

How many strawberry plants would you generally start in a 5 gallon container?...ty

@CaliKim29

7 күн бұрын

In a 5-gallon container, it is generally best to start with one to two strawberry plants. This allows each plant enough space to grow and spread out, ensuring they have adequate access to nutrients, water, and sunlight. Overcrowding the container can lead to poor air circulation, increased risk of disease, and competition for resources, which can hinder plant growth and fruit production. I hope this helps - Michael.

I live in Tennessee, when is the best time to plant strawberries? Thanks

@CaliKim29

2 күн бұрын

In Tennessee, the best time to plant strawberries is typically in the early spring, around late March to early April. This timing allows the plants to establish their root systems before the hot summer weather sets in. Here are some pointers - There are three main types of strawberries you can choose from: June-bearing: These produce one large crop in late spring to early summer. They are the most common type and are well-suited for Tennessee. Ever-bearing: These produce two to three harvests throughout the growing season (spring, summer, and fall). Day-neutral: These produce fruit continuously throughout the growing season, as long as the temperature stays between 35°F and 85°F. Let me know which you choose! Thanks for your comments, Michael.

I am definitely learning a lot. I sure wish I saw these videos sooner… Lol! I purchased a large old trough that I thought would be fun to plant strawberries and flowers, etc. The strawberries on the edge are doing the best because the strawberries can hang over the edge, so it looks like it’s best to give them a place where they can hang? Also, my adorable dachshund has found the strawberries… He loves strawberries! I am considering moving these to a different area and maybe in a hanging basket, but it does get really hot here in the summertime so I am worried about them drying out there. I like your crate method. Where did you get your crates? Do you purchase these or ask a store for them? I don’t want to have to put a fence around my cute trough. Love your videos! 😊

Happy Birthday, Max 🍖! Hi Kim, I have a couple of questions. 1. Can you put ground up eggshells in all your vegetables that you plant in the soil that are in containers? 2. Do you have to put both liquid and granular fertilizer in your containers and how often should you feed the fertilizer to your vegetables?

@CaliKim29

21 күн бұрын

Good question. Answer: Yes and yes. Eggshells are a natural source of calcium, can help prevent blossom end rot in tomatoes, peppers, and other plants. And, can deter certain pests, like slugs and snails, due to their sharp edges. Sidenote: do not rely on eggshells alone to fertilize..use worm castings, granular fertilizers, etc. Granular fertilizer is timed slow release (overtime) applied every 2 mos.. Water soluble, is immediate nutrients to the plant, applied every 2-3 weeks. Note the containers need fed more often thus the high frequency I noted above.

Most likely powdery mildew - that thrives in humid conditions, especially during periods of frequent rain. We need to get your plants some air + a few other things. Try this - Prune. Remove and discard any affected plant parts, such as leaves or stems showing signs of powdery mildew. This can help reduce the spread of the fungus. Increase Air Circulation around your plants by spacing them adequately and pruning to allow for better airflow. This can help reduce humidity levels. Avoid overhead watering.
