As a home gardener on a budget but with a bit of space, I can't stress enough how easy it is to propagate strawberries. I started with a couple near dead strawberries from the local hardware store at the end of season 10 years ago. This spring, after dropping compost next to my strawberry patch at the end of last year and growing beans adjacent to it last year, I literally pulled over 150 brand new strawberry plants out of my garden which had runnered over into the beans/compost area. And my whole big patch is from those 2 bedraggled plants 10 years ago.

My runners ((next yrs plants) have come from 20 yr old mother plants I've never had to buy more because of these WONDERFUL RUNNERS. Rotate the older ones with the newer ones... easy when you care enough.

Here in the Netherlands strawberries are planted in gutters, so they can grow them in tiers, and the strawberries hang and stay clean. After Harvest the gutters with plants are brougth to a cooling house, often an fruit storage, and chilled for some time. They are transferred back to the farm/Greenhouse(depends on month) and start flowering again because they think it's spring.
It's a rotating system, so when plants are transferred to the cooling house others are taken out and start producing fruit in the same space the other plants are taken from.

We at Blue Eye Strawberries Also plant in the fall but used runner from our mother plant and we plant about 15000 new plants every year! All plants come from one-year-old mother plants never had any disease problems in twenty-five years of doing this! At Blue Eye Strawberries we raise four kinds of berry three June bearing and one everbearing Ozark Beauty!!

[michaelbooher]

Totally awesome
I learned 2 new things
1 strawberries are a perenial and
2 the mother plant sends out runners

Thanx man

Farmer Dre, Great video! I see why so many folks follow you! You know your stuff! I’ve got a home garden and I allow SOME of mine to develop runners, let them move to the next row in the garden, and so far, that’s working well! With your advise, I’ll watch for any developing disease problems. Great video! Good tips for us at home!

As a home gardener, after the first year, my grandfather would plant his strawberry rows spaced so that every year, he tilled the main row. So this year's daughter plants were next years main row.

Beautiful field of strawberries! We love growing our homegrown organic strawberries.

I grow my own Quinault Strawberries because I prefer everbearing berries as I like to get them all summer. I just started them last year so I' been letting my runners spread them. Once my bed is filled, I will remove most of the runners. I'll keep a few to keep the bed fresh.

So glad u finally got to a point at the 7 minute mark 👍🏼

Dude this was SO informative. First time on your channel. Great job and thank you!

Good advice but a few riders, as I as an amateur gardener understand it you should remove all runners until fruiting has stopped and only allow runners to take after to keep the energy within the plant for fruit. Only the first 'daughter' plant on any runner should be potted up so snap off any further on the chain as any further daughters on the same runner will produce weaker plants next year. Take only a maximum of 3 runners from any one plant or it may weaken the 'mother' plant. Whether you take runners or not the plants should be replaced after 3 years as it becomes progressively poorer at fruiting as it ages so taking 'daughters' to replace them is a very good idea. As I say though, this is an armatures understanding so check it out yourselves.

At one point, when I lived in Powell River, BC, Canada. I had a beautiful garden. Very well planed and cared for by me. We could have lived off of it. Maybe? The strawberry patch had to be watched. The strawberries would take over! But who doesn't love strawberries. They are due here in Ontario, a bit warm and wet, hurry! Swiss Chard, Beans (runners and bush) Peppers, (they wouldn't grow right in Ontario) Tomato's ( they grew better in Ontario, too much rain in BC)

I recently been retrenched from the formal market.. I have free plastic, cheap labour's and a whole patch of strawberry bushes my mom planted a year ago... good land..
So I'm trying 1000 bushes...
Wish me luck..

I've been fertilizing my strawberries with homemade fertilizer made from dandelions (high potassium) and I'm getting an explosion of fruit growth.

[robertalavezzari]

Here in Italy we keep the plants 3 years with perfect yealds, we cutthe runners and sell them

[johnmyers]

The ruby June's have a great flavor. sweetest berry I've ever had.
