Strawberry Runners - The Definitive Guide

The Complete Guide To Strawberry Runners! Every year we see these vigorous offshoots coming off our main Strawberry plants. Its great to see and it means the plants are growing and are healthy. But the runners can't stay, they need to be removed fairly quickly.

And today, we'll discuss why. Why is it so important to remove the runners from the mother plant and why do they adversely affect our berry harvests.

But as gardeners, nothing goes to waste. The runners are the single easiest way to expand our Strawberry operation and they are abundant and completely free! There's 3 ways to get them started and I'll show you all of it, every step of the way! Welcome, to Strawberry Utopia!

What makes an enjoyably good YouTube channel ???? Answer: The producer’s personality! You have it my man! In 66 years, I never knew much about strawberries until I watched your video . Thanks!!

[markharding]

This is one of the best videos on strawberry runners I have seen.

[michelleslifeonrepeat]

Thank you for this video. I learned so much. Now I know why my mother plant didn’t produce strawberries

We have about 100' of strawberry beds, we expand the runners, weed diligently, and mulch every spring. But as soon as they have begun to ripen and I see the jam that is to come, the squirrels come from miles around to raid. We've tried netting of various kinds, completely enclosed them, but the squirrels just laugh and laugh as they get through it all and feast in broad daylight. Next year we're going to invest in diy hardware cloth boxes with wooden frames. We are serious this time. I wouldn't go to this much trouble for any other plant, but I want my strawberry utopia and I'm going to have it.

Thank you. I planted one strawberry plant last year and this year it grows all over my garden. I didn't know that I have to cut the runners and replant. Thank you once again.

My strawberry plants have runners all over the place. I never knew they were a drain on the mother plants. This video was a great help for me to better manage my strawberries! Thanks!

Best YouTube guide to strawberry propagation! Thanks!

Brilliant video cuz. First time growing strawberries here and watching so many vids trying to get diffinative information. Finally! Thankyou! ❤

[kenbrown]

This is the most informative strawberry tutorial I have seen. I ended up building cages for mine because of squirrels! First year harvest cost about 50 cents per berry. Summer, heat, fungus, Florida. I'll get better soon. Thanks Ken

Awesome vid. You are one of my TOP 5 go to gardening channels to learn info. 😊 Thanks

[shervin]

Brilliant!! Thank you SO MUCH for this step by step video! EXACTLY what I needed! Now I SEE ( GREAT CAMERA WORK!) what I may have been doing wrong ( planting to deep, anchor wrong angle) what I did well and why ( keeping runner on mother while rooting) what I can try next! (Water method, anchors from vine!) So grateful, feeling more confident now...was about to give up!

[OzzyUSA.]

Not sure what happened to my message, so sending it again. You are an amazing teacher. Love your slower method of explaining and pausing. Just amazing!

[AJWGBFX]

I'm just about to root some strawberry runners and was going to leave them attached and pinned into pots. Having seen you demonstrate it I'm going to use your water rooting method instead. Thank you for the time and effort you repeatedly give to the production of your videos.

[Kyaide]

Really appreciate the detail you went into about rooting them and showing the different wants to do it. Thank you!
