Planting Bare Root Strawberries Perfectly Every Time!

Today we're going over my preferred method for planting bare root strawberries, so if strawberries are your jam (HA!), stick around!

I'll cover what you're looking for when it comes to crowns, and all the steps I can think of to help set you up for success with these beautiful berries.

3 years old but exactly what I needed. Recent disabled and had to find a new hobby to do at home and its strawberries lol. Thanks for the info!

thanks for the tip about checking how the roots are pointing in order to lay the strawberries down better

I have never done this before, and I'm so glad I looked up information and found your video. Thank you for this video.

I found a variety called Summer Breeze Rose, has red and pink flowers with tons of super sweet berries. Its a fairly new variety but awesome. Found it at Calloways nursery in Texas. It was even organic. It was $14.99 for a six pack of pint sized starts that were very healthy. Already making berries and now that Ive planted them in other places, they have spread and are THRIVING.
Organie Summer Breeze Rose is a great variety!

What a great video. One of the best I’ve seen for starting bareroot strawberries. Thanks!

This video is amazing! Clever cross-section idea. And so thorough: every step clearly explained before I even thought of the question. Though my bare root plants are managing to push new leaves, imagine how much better they would do if I watched you before!

How does this not have a million views. This is the best bare root video. Thank you!! Is it better to use straw or mulch for strawberries? I've seen some people use straw.

I just started working at a 15 acre greenhouse just growing strawberry plants

I wish you made vídeos more often. I'm growing some strawberries right now from bare roots.

Hi Veronica, thanks for making this elaborate video on planting bareroot strawberries. I am about to receive a batch of pineberry bareroots. The previous batch did not survive. Thought I'd look up a YouTube tutorial and stumbled upon your video. I did just about everything you did, even the mounds. Perhaps I should use John Innes n°.3 compost, this time, with a little bit of horticultural sand mixed in it? Last time, I used peat based compost. I noticed, in your video, the soil you used looked much like John Innes n°.3 compost.
Btw, you are beautiful 🤗. Much like a gorgeous, Scandinavian princess.
God bless...

70% soil + 30% sand is a great medium I heard of.
