Feed the World with A Single Strawberry Plant | MIgardener

Having a strawberry plant is not just a joy, it is an opportunity to share! When strawberry plants put out runners, they are a whole new plant, and that plant will send out runners as well, This effect snowballs and can feed the world with a single strawberry plant, and the act of sharing. So if you liked this video, share it too!

Blackberries grow everywhere here in Seattle and the other day I saw a homeless guy picking them on the side of the road. I might start propagating them from my back yard and put more blackberries where homeless people might walk by.

I love your philosophy! I’ve heard of public parks being planted with food producing plants for all to take. I hope more cities will do it. You’ve inspired me to plant strawberry plants, which I will share if all goes well! 🌱😀🌵

Great video on strawberries and runners. Almost every one of my strawberry plants came from one plant I bought last year, and I have a lot of strawberry plants! Take care, Kim

Oh what a difference 7 years make! Love ya, Luke! Couldn't help myself.

I plant sequoia strawberries and they too send out runners. What I learned from you today is that I can separate the runners and then plant them in other containers. Previously I would surround my plant with a bunch of little pots and 'pin' the runners into soil, wait for them to root and THEN cut the stems. Great info!!

Wee woo wee woo! I'm from the future, Migardener became president and you sir pulled out runners not but a few years later. Impeachment time.

Good to see someone that loves strawberries (and the plants) as much as I do. After a couple years your patch will decline, so you take runners and make new patches (and give them away). FYI: Jewel is a junebearing variety, not everbearing, but definitely one of my favorites for sure. I only recommend Junebearing varieties for anyone that wants big yields.

I just started my strawberries this year. My mom actually gave me about 6 of hers because her strawberry garden became so over run. Your videos are very helpful.

Funny that you said you’d make it illegal but in another video you were tossing them too. Those are some happy strawberries!!

[WildernessgalM]

Agreed, I'm always "sharing the love"...it makes me feel good (especially during times, when everything is so very expensive). ❤️🙏

[islynmercurius]

i pin the runner down to a 2 or 3 inch pot with compost in and when i have roots coming out the bottom of the pot i cut the runner

[jamiet]

my rabbits love the strawberry runners from my garden... so i usually give them to the buns... bunny spaghetti...

[jimboersma]

Great video! I got 130 plants out of 24 in just one year! I transplanted last fall and looking forward to a bumper crop!

Strawberry Leaves make an EXCELLENT Tea, too!!! Try it!!!!

[williameftposco]

yeah they reproduce faster than you can give them away. i had my indoor one make 6 plants before fruiting.

[honeybacres]

Great video Luke. I think strawberries are one of the easiest plants to propagate. They nearly do all the work for you.

Being a new urban gardener we have only tried tomatoes and peppers so far, we am going to try planting strawberries using a vertical garden this year. Thanks for the information as will make sure not to prune and throw any of the runners and instead replant and expand our strawberry garden
