Ewell Acres is Rooted in Nature.
Rooted in Nature means taking examples from nature to more sustainably produce crops through a method called hydroponics. That knowledge was gained from years of experience and collaborative learning from around the world.
Our primary goal Rooted in Nature focuses on time tested sustainable agriculture techniques and combing them with modern technology to make them more efficient.
Come and join us as we want to share that knowledge with you. Aside from hydroponics were going to be talking about various aspects of gardening and agriculture. Not just these aspects but how to employ them in as sustainable and natural method as possible so that we all can be Rooted in Nature.
Subscribe and join us so that we can all learn from each other and with each other on how to take time tested sustainable methods of agriculture and employ them with modern technology.

FYI don’t buy them from Walmart they suck and be super dried out
awesome
❤I sit with 3jars of foam honey you great like your video .make more
How to use in your garden quite overlooked. Interested in peat moss/coconut coir comparison, that is what's here. I just wasted 10 minutes myself.
someone please send me a good company to buy from for root bare strawberries to purchase from for the variety that i can grow indoors and around the year?
Lol " did I hit the mark, did I didn't? " never heard that one before
My bare roots did not look like that. The roots and crowns were all brown.😢
That’s ok. Some come like that. It means they’re still dormant which is a good sign. You have a bit of time to plant them. If they come with leaves you need to get them planted out as asap.
Peat Moss
How long before I see strawberrys?
How do you make the solution?
1,000 !!! Said 999 til i liked it for 1k! Woot woot
My package says not to plant wire potatoes have been previously planted…ugh. Now where shall I plant as my areas have all had potatoes
Great video with all the details!
Ok, you mentioned that you can get the roots out of dormancy by soaking in water up to a couple of hours. If you DON'T soak them and put them immediately in the ground, pots or whatever you plant them in, does that kill them?
No it does not. It will just take them a little longer to come out of winter hibernation. By soaking them that just helps to speed up the process.
Make certain they do get regular watering though as they will be thirsty boys.
Thanks
I have 25 strawberry plants each in 2 gal grow bags on a drip system. What is the ideal drip size for watering each week?
I bought two packs and wasted my money. I should’ve watched this first. Maybe I’ll try again 😢
Thank you!!
Hahaha. Lots of info...
I will say that we stored bare root strawberries in the fridge because we were headed out of town for a week. Unfortunately, the fridge got down to freezing while we were gone & we lost them all. I think them waking up with warmth is better than risk of freezing, myself.
so close.. you covered almost every base. you just left out how much POLLUTION is caused by rinsing (most of) the salt out of the coco coir before shipping. IF it was just used locally there would be no issue, but its not.. its being shipped all over the world.its not like you can rinse salt out of something with water that already has salt in it.
This is an excellent video! I have to understand how things work and why as much as possible and this video hit the nail on that head! I realize there are people who just want to be told what to do and move mindlessly through life, but my brain just doesn't work that way!😂😂😂 Great information and thanks again!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it thankyou for the feedback.
I bought 10 sequoia strawberry roots that had damp soil around them, i soaked them in water, but not one of them has a single green leaf on it before planting..i just planted today..if the crown is all brown, does that mean the plants were dead when i bought them? Im not sure im worried now because everyone i see online their strawberries have green Leaves!
Did they ever grow? I just planted some bare roots that were also brown at the crown
I got mine and didn’t have a place for them ready yet. I forgot about them on the counter in the original bag for 3 days and then opened them and put them in the fridge in that original bag. There was no newspaper or moisture in the bag at all. I didn’t know there was supposed to be. About 5 days after I got them, I planted them straight into their spots. Without soaking or washing them, without any fungicide. The next morning the little stems on them changed from pale color/white color to reddish purple color and looked stronger already after just one night in the dirt. I’m a bit worried now 😅 but hoping since they perked up that some of them will survive. Also it was hard for me to get them planted right at the crown, some have a bit of root showing up top. I’m not sure if I should add more soil or compost, because I worry about it covering the crowns 🫣
Thank you for very detail information. May I ask what brand that fungicide is?
Like other fuels, burlap will smolder, inside your smoker much longer if you get a good fire going in the bottom first, and then add more burlap to it and pack it fairly tightly as you continue to pump the bellows. When it's fairly tight and full, see how long it burns for you!
Burlap is one of those unsung heros that works well that I learned from an old timer beekeeper mentor that I had when I started out in beekeeping.
Damn mine did not look like this at all... they were much darker I wonder if they were no good.
Different species of strawberries will have slightly different colors. Also different types of soil, minerals, and nutrients that the strawberries are grown in can also slightly effect the color as well.
@@ewellacres How long does it take to see growth after planting them in my raised bed?
@GettingBentWithBo on average up to 6 weeks if conditions are right.. Many factors will contribute to the length of time. Temperature, moisture level, nutrient level ect. For example strawberries don't start to warm up until day time temperatures start to hit the 50s or so. Different factors and cerry greatly on speed of growth
@@ewellacresright on I’m I. Zone 9 I think south east Texas
19.97 now for the small bag
In my local area I can buy a 3 cu ft bag for about $19 each. however I do buy in bulk which helps alot. The smaller quantities have gotten very expensive. Yea inflation.
River oaks community church
Well I was able to find 11 churches with that name most in the south a few in the north and 1 in cali. Where ever you are from. Thanks for your time and hope the monks of the church enjoy the pastime of harvesting honey and making of mead.
Ty!
Thankyou so much I am grateful you enjoyed it.
Don't buy strawberry bare roots at TSC tractor supply company they are a bad product just be aware!
Some of the dangers with buying from big box stores and even some nurseries is low quality plants. I like to buy form local nurseries when possible my self. But in the end as long as people garden on no matter the source that makes me smile.
Great Info.
thankyou so much I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Deep Space 9? 😂
yes some of my earlier videos did use that symphonic music.
where did you get your from?
@ewellacres 9 months ago I like ordering my strawberries from several different locations and have had good luck with all of these locations not in any particular of most to least. these are by no means the only places these are just places I have more experience with. www.johnnyseeds.com/fruits/strawberry/strawberry-bare-root-plants/ www.indianaberry.com/ www.noursefarms.com/category/strawberry-plants/ www.starkbros.com/ As far as the time of year to plant the best time is in early spring when the ground is workable but still cold outside. While the plants are still dormant with no leaves on them. That way they can wake up with the with the warmer temps. Or plant them in fall several months before winter so that can get established before harder cold temperatures arrive. Those are best times to plant.
@@ewellacres thank you! appreciate the rime you took to reply with links!
@@angiespradlin3026 my pleasure
beautiful ideas
Thank you! 😊
nice job brother
how to start
I will have a new video coming how within the next month or so with an updated version of how to start a hive that is much more explanary and better video on step by step instructions on how to do so.
hellow my friend
Thankyou for using your limited time in watching I appreciate it.
great video! question , can strawbrries be grow year round in a green house??
Yes. They can be grown year round in a greenhouse. The prolblem your going to run into. Strawberries require a cold period of time in order for them to set fruit. This is know as chilling period of time. What commercial greenhouse growers will do is one of two things. Once the strawberries ate done setting fruit they will then collect the strawberry plants and put them in a refrigerator or cold storage for 6 to 8 weeks. Then replant them and start all over.
Watching from the Philippines ❤
Thankyou so much for joining I appreciate your time
Very nice video very informative thanks for sharing
Thankyou so much for joining I appreciate your time
I just wanted some advice for mixing in a few cubic ft of peat into my beds... mix ratios, fertilizer use etc. Instead got the encyclopedia on world peat moss production.
Hopefully it was helpful if not what info could have been helpful ad in for future videos?
Who is here because there techers told them to watch this video?🙋
I'm honored thankyou.
Given me a great idea, thanks
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you so much.
I think tho I have grandkids that like to go out and pick them We've had everbearing and they were just small and and didn't produce much. I think I'll try junebearing this year. Thanks.
I have the same problem my kids like to help pick them and I end up having less to sell at farmer's markets.
Is there anything natural I can use for calcium? Like banana peels or clippings?
several forms of calcium that can be added naturally are bone meal, lime, and eggshells. Eggshells tend to moths to break down though and so that is a long term inprovement of calcium where as bone meal and lime are much faster acting materials to add.
If the conditions are right, how long does it take to grow a pineapple?
On average between 18 and 24 months. If things are not going good up to 4 years
What would happen if you throw the clippings in without drying them out?
As the grass clippings dry out they produce heat just like another compost pile. That heat can be so much it can kill the plants. Another potential problem but even more dangerous for the plants is nitrogen. As the plants dry out they will release nitrogen. If they release to much all at once it will be called nitrogen burn. That is a term used to denote too much nitrogen all as once. So when I say heat that could mean temperature, but it is also a slang gardening term refuring to that nitrogen burn. The idea behind it is all plants need nitrogen. but to much all at once can be very dangerous to the plant. Very similar to the idea that we as humans need water, but to much water will drown us and kill us. same concept. its finding the right balance.
Thanks. I didn't know about the salt content of coco coir. Maybe that's why some of my seeds haven't germinated. I'm going to try peat moss for starting seeds n see if it's better. I think that this is going to be great for my container garden in this FL heat. 🙏🧑🏽🌾
I'm glad I was able to help
