Great video, it is so neat to see what they are working on! Thank you for getting us a sneak peek :)

Hi. A very good system, but experience has shown that the flower stalks will break on the sharp edges of the pot. It is advisable to make a ribbon for the flower stalks and pull the thread for the leaves above.

great update on how your and dougs journey began, "at a school " !!! Love it . Wonderful to hear from the cropking team on the many parts of the training . Wonderful idea to give a "peak" into the logical and suggested process of growing great food and how to get there. THe white tape for the straw berries. I did a quick search on 2 inch wide webbing . Reminded me of hvac duct webbing. However after more reading, you will likely consider the added UV inhibators in the webbing, if it does not effect the plant health. Pretty smart growing idea. :) When is your last market of the year ? In the winter does it turn to just CSA sales ? I always enjoy what you both share. thanks in advance.

Your strawberries go in the green house around April. When do you pull them out? What are the signs you might look for to make that call?

[rodneynicholson]

What is the fee for school? I live in Georgia and have a small piece of land with a stream. I am planning to grow soon.

Good morning Katy. Hope you and Doug are well. Long time viewer here from Texas. I was wondering what the buckets/planters are called that run on your 2 railing system? Hope Devon and kids are doing great.

Hi, I'm just starting to research hydroponic products to set up strawberries under a tunnel in British Columbia Canada. Temperatures dip to -27C for a couple of days each winter. So just lookingvat extending summer growing seasonI.
love your more cost effective set up. Can you please provide me with the specs for your saw horses, height you have your pots set at, distance between your saw horses and distance between your rows? Are your pots draining to the groind beneath? Do those pots have a groove underneath to run a collector drain pipe?
What automated system do you use for your pH and EC. Filter?
Appreciate any info. you can share.
Susan

Do the strawberries need a cold or dormant spell to flower and produce fruit?

[PrewittHomestead]

Great video. Do you have a recommendation for an hobby level EC/PH meter?

[KeithRanly]

What EC and PH do you recommend for strawberries?

[FensterfarmGreenhouse]

They took my idea! That is how I did it. Lol
Wish I would’ve patented it.

[modestobacktoneck]

How often and how long do you water your strawberries ie: I do 3-4 minutes 4 times a day and think it might be too much. I'm using 75% perlite and 25% vermiculite I seem to get a lot of algae growth that is a bed for nats.

[lightpawshird]

Do you start your strawberries from seed or do you buy the plants already sprouted? I have attempted to start strawberry seeds with no luck.

[reshardbelilam]

What is the PH and EC reading for strawberry

[reshardbelilam]
