This came up on my recommendation for UA-cam and I was curious so I watched it. I’ve currently got 5 different varieties growing in 35cm pots and they’re doing extraordinary! I was wondering what I was doing right to cause this and it turns out I was doing everything right like you said.
I use 25kg or litres of orchid potting mix because it drains very well. I mix in 2.5 litres of perlite and 2.5 litres of potting sand / propagation sand. I also add 6.25kg / litres of compost and also feed once a fortnight with seasol or power feed and then I also make up my own nitrogen water. I also feed liquid potassium once a month. My garden is thriving.
I used to look at a plant and it would die, never thought I’d be able to grow something but I went to Bunnings (I live in Australia, this is one of our plant stores) and randomly bought a strawberry. Saw that they need good drainage so I mixed things together not doing anything else regarding research and holy cow I some how got it right. I’ve got 26 different plants (all 5 strawberries are counted as 1 type of plant). I love my little garden. Thank you for your insight and knowledge!
Thank you Mr. Berry. This is an excellent tutorial. None of the frapdoodle and all the info. After trying about 40 years ago with disastrous results I'm going to have another go with 20 everbearing plants the seller says will work in my hot Alabama climate in a 60 foot row in the garden. After hearing your great info I think I'll not use lime in the row. I lime the whole garden yearly to help with the oak leaves I put on there. Lime makes happy tomatoes and corn. Other stuff as well....but I'll hold off on that berry row. I'll be covering the whole thing with a couple of layers of craft paper and wheat straw. Ought to keep the weeds down anyway, at least for this summer. That's muh plan.
Super job and UPVOTE! You did good!
Thanks for taking the time and investing the effort to share your information. It's greatly appreciated...
Excellent vidéo sir. Thank you for sharing such valuable information in such an organized way. I like that you get right to the point with no unnecessary fluff. Bravo!
Superb video ! Thank you for teaching me more about the nutrient profile of strawberries. This is exactly what I was searching for.
Thank-you Gary.

Thank you Garry,
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.
I will be trying out my ideas this spring with some new cultivars. I can't wait.
@@GaryHeilig Did you try out any of the cultivars? I am curious to see if you got a strawberry similar to the one you tasted in CA.
Wow!!!!! Best ever content!!! Thank you!
Great video!

Really thanks for the verry beneficial information you gifting us .
Do you have any information about how to take care of oil production olive trees sir .
If you can please make a video on this topic, specifically about how to increase high Quality oil production in olive fruits
Thank you very much!!!
You are so very welcome.
thanks gayry :D
THANKS
You are most welcome. Keep watching.

MR G A R Y IS COOLER THAN A CUCUMBER . THANKS BROTHER .
Mine were sweet last year but not this year. what should I give them? I griw them in a large pot to avoid the pesticides in the soil from past owners and other houses near me. So maybe add potassium?
Can you do a video about runners? I am a new gardener and want to maximize my few plants and their production . I see runners but dont know if I should keep them if I want more berries plants to self propagate for year two of the berry plants.
I want to grow the sweetest and biggest!!!! What breed are sweet and large?
Can’t grow anything in my soil, it’s all sand and clay. My garden is contained in containers.
I got a Marshall and a Holiday strawberry and wish I could find a new one I think called Caroline. It is a hybrid for Mara de Bois, so not so soft and larger.
Wow man
I'm going to attempt Strawberries this year. They have been ordered from Nourse. I'm planting Earliglow. I'm in central Illinois zone 6 and will be planting in raised beds. Any suggestions regarding soil. I normally use equal parts promix potting soil and compost. And add some peat moss. Was going to add some pine mulch to increase the acidity?
I use a 50/50 mix of topsoil (sandy loam preferred) and compost. I buy it from Landscape suppliers. Using promix and compost is fine, but it will probably dry out more quickly so watch your watering closely and be sure to mulch the bed to preserve moisture. Adding pine needles will not increase acidity. We did some composting experiments with pine needles and found out that the pH was no more acidic than other materials. The best way to lower pH is by applying elemental sulfur to the soil a year before planting. How much to add is based on the soil texture, what the current pH is, and what you want to reduce it to. When sulfur is added to the soil, bacteria consume the sulfur which results in soil reactions that produce sulfuric acid. Too much of this around plant roots may be a problem.
The ideal strawberry pH is 6.2
I'm in Peoria. I'm attempting strawberries this year.
Gary, how does the strawberry plant decide each spring whether the crown will produce mostly green foliage versus a combination foliage and fruit bearing stems (versus runners)? Is it predetermined from the conditions the prior autumn??? How can one influence the production of flowering stems over foliage or runners?
Increase your phosphorus.

Dutch strawberrys out of a greenhouse in may, cultivar ellianny, will be the tastiest strawberry’s you will ever taste
Strawberry brix average is 10, 14 is good, 16 is excellent.

1. Full Sunlight.
2. 2-3 % Organic MAtter min. Acidic soil 5.3-6.8 ideal 6.2 on mineral soil.
3. Good drain
Fosforo 30-40ppm
Potasio 100-130
Magnesium 40-80
Boron 0.75-1
Zinc 5-6
En floracion añadir fertilizante con mas potasio. Aunque estudios dicen que si previamente el suelo ya tenia el potasio correcto, añadir mas no influenciara.
Bioestimulantes ayudan
Fresa es 91% water
There is a Side market here in California that always has the very sweetest strawberries. My first time tasting them was in 2022. I was so impressed because I actually had never tasted a real sweet Strawberry. The taste was worlds apart than from say a place like Walmart or Target. Also the color was deep red and Shiny.
I ned your support sir to my small garden on how or what kind of fertilizer to apply strawberry plant
It is best to take a soil test. Your local extension office should be able to help you with that. Look in the county government listings under Cooperative Extension Service (MSU Extension in Michigan). Other wise a balance fertilizer that has a !:1:1 ratio such as 10-10-10 would work fine. And organic source would be 5-5-5 or something similar
Using 10-10-10 apply 1-2 lbs/100 feet of row after harvest when you renovate the bed. Double the amount of the 5-5-5. Apply before a rain or water in.

Too much water in my case it seems. A lot of water but less taste on mine. But should. The only water i pu are water soluble fertilizers like opnion peels and sea weed. I need to rely on slow decomposition then but its hrd to find potassium oriented fertilizers who are organic.

Thank you Gary, How about a video on micro. min. and how plants use them. I just saw a video with a woman who swears that adding 1 cup of boron per apple tree would increase yield, no it won't!!! It will kill a tree. She left out the importance of bees in low fruit yields on a apple tree. Do you have bees? Thank you again. Honeyberries? PawPaw?
I have mint and bees go crazy i almost never saw bees of my life until i saw then on my mint flowers
I overwatered mine and the berry I just had was sour. lol.
You ever water with molasses? Kelp?
I'd give you 2 thumbs up if I could
DID I STUTTER?
Way too much small chat. Practice getting to your point
