This came up on my recommendation for YouTube and I was curious so I watched it. I’ve currently got 5 different varieties growing in 35cm pots and they’re doing extraordinary! I was wondering what I was doing right to cause this and it turns out I was doing everything right like you said.

I use 25kg or litres of orchid potting mix because it drains very well. I mix in 2.5 litres of perlite and 2.5 litres of potting sand / propagation sand. I also add 6.25kg / litres of compost and also feed once a fortnight with seasol or power feed and then I also make up my own nitrogen water. I also feed liquid potassium once a month. My garden is thriving.

I used to look at a plant and it would die, never thought I’d be able to grow something but I went to Bunnings (I live in Australia, this is one of our plant stores) and randomly bought a strawberry. Saw that they need good drainage so I mixed things together not doing anything else regarding research and holy cow I some how got it right. I’ve got 26 different plants (all 5 strawberries are counted as 1 type of plant). I love my little garden. Thank you for your insight and knowledge!

Excellent vidéo sir. Thank you for sharing such valuable information in such an organized way. I like that you get right to the point with no unnecessary fluff. Bravo!

Thank you Mr. Berry. This is an excellent tutorial. None of the frapdoodle and all the info. After trying about 40 years ago with disastrous results I'm going to have another go with 20 everbearing plants the seller says will work in my hot Alabama climate in a 60 foot row in the garden. After hearing your great info I think I'll not use lime in the row. I lime the whole garden yearly to help with the oak leaves I put on there. Lime makes happy tomatoes and corn. Other stuff as well....but I'll hold off on that berry row. I'll be covering the whole thing with a couple of layers of craft paper and wheat straw. Ought to keep the weeds down anyway, at least for this summer. That's muh plan.
Super job and UPVOTE! You did good!

Strawberry brix average is 10, 14 is good, 16 is excellent.
AC Wendy, Albion. Alpine, Delizz, Darselect. Mara de Bois, Sweet Charlie.
1. Full Sunlight.
2. 2-3 % Organic MAtter min. Acidic soil 5.3-6.8 ideal 6.2 on mineral soil.
3. Good drain
Fosforo 30-40ppm
Potasio 100-130
Magnesium 40-80
Boron 0.75-1
Zinc 5-6

En floracion añadir fertilizante con mas potasio. Aunque estudios dicen que si previamente el suelo ya tenia el potasio correcto, añadir mas no influenciara.
Bioestimulantes ayudan
Fresa es 91% water

There is a Side market here in California that always has the very sweetest strawberries. My first time tasting them was in 2022. I was so impressed because I actually had never tasted a real sweet Strawberry. The taste was worlds apart than from say a place like Walmart or Target. Also the color was deep red and Shiny.

I got a Marshall and a Holiday strawberry and wish I could find a new one I think called Caroline. It is a hybrid for Mara de Bois, so not so soft and larger.

Can you do a video about runners? I am a new gardener and want to maximize my few plants and their production . I see runners but dont know if I should keep them if I want more berries plants to self propagate for year two of the berry plants.

Thank you sir for the informative video.

I'm going to attempt Strawberries this year. They have been ordered from Nourse. I'm planting Earliglow. I'm in central Illinois zone 6 and will be planting in raised beds. Any suggestions regarding soil. I normally use equal parts promix potting soil and compost. And add some peat moss. Was going to add some pine mulch to increase the acidity?
