Great video...well done.
Thanks for watching!
I mulch with dead leaves in spring. I cover my beds with dried leaves for winter. But for 2023, I have healthy plants with large leaves, no disease but few berries. The plan (theory) is to let the dead leaves rot which then adds fertility to the soil. I have three 4x8 raised beds of well drained loose soil; maybe too loose.
Dead leaves are a great way to add nutrients to your soil! Fingers crossed that your berries take off soon!
Thank you for explaining the diseases present in strawberries so clearly with photos of them and key points to differentiate different diseases. It's very helpful when you list key things to be aware of to prevent these diseases. I've made the mistake of letting dead plant material stay on the plant and fertilising my strawberry plants in the spring, and it's so true that the plant looks really good but it doesn't perform well. Do you have any videos to address applying fungicides on strawberries to prevent fungal diseases, if the strawberry is susceptible (rainy, humid weather)? I've heard of Castile soap being an effective insecticide and fungicide but it's difficult to gauge when to start fungicide treatments as a preventative measure for strawberries.
Thank you, Sammy! We are glad you found the video informative. We don't have any videos specifically about fungicide use on strawberries. We are a certified organic farm and don't use them. Best of luck in your farming journey! More great strawberry videos to come soon.
If you don't want to use fungicides, Do you just remove the infected leaves? Or do you have to remove the entire plant?
If only a few leaves are infected, you can try removing just the leaves. However, the safest option would be to remove the whole plant, in case other areas have become infected.
Can you use a non toxic treatment for atrawberries like i do with tomoatoes and peppers. I mix castile soap with tea tree and peppermint essential oil, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide. Seems to keep most pest away as well as seems to prevent some disease as well. Especially with my indoor plants. Forgot also neem oil i add.
Hello, I truly enjoyed your video - extremely helpful.
I have about 60 strawberry plants and I am struggling with red leaves(scorch and fungus). Any suggestions on how to deal with this? I have tried Safers and other bio products. The berries are producing and reddening now, but what a battle to get enough berries just to make my jam!
Thank you for your time.
Susan
You are welcome, Susan! we cover leaf scorch at the 4:29 mark!
My biggest problem is Pillbugs and snails. They seem to like strawberries as much as I do 😊
They are my biggest problems too. Planting garlic in the bed helped me.
Try using mixture of 5 kg neem leaves , 10 kg cow dung, 5 liters cow urine in 50 liters of water . Set aside in shade for 3 days . Then filter out the mixture, add the filtered solution in 100 or 200 liters of water and spray on crop . This is for 2800 SqM .
I started finding little white flies on the leaves of my strawberry. How can I effectively get rid of them without wetting the leaves?
if they are aphids you can try attracting or adding ladybugs they will eat them
I wish you would do a video on blackberries.❤️🌱
Great suggestion!
The problem with using something reflective is it doesn't take the birds long to realize that it is not a danger. It becomes commonplace and part of the environment for them
they learn quickly! let us know if you have any additional tips that work well for you! thanks for watching!
Strawberries have been the crop i take special care of and they are the only plant in my garden suffering the most. I decided to take charge of the main garden. Im growing tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons and cantaloups. They are all doing really well exept the cucumbers because of the beetles. The strawberries a stink bug infestation and tarnished plant bug. A lot of deformer fruits recently. I grow everbearing and day neutrals because i wanted to have berries all season. I think i have another problem linked to cyclamen mites or maybe something far worse.
sounds like you are learning a lot! Keep it up! thanks for watching
Good video. How do I prevent little white maggot type worms inside the ripe fruit?
In my experience, you don’t.
I remove any dead stems and leaves, they stunted my yield once.., but after finger pruning and throwing these stems and leaves far away from the good crops the plants all became stronger healthier and produced more flowers and inturn berries.😋
Great tip! Thanks for sharing.
We have been dealing with vivipary strawberries apparently from a bacteria that leaf hoppers carry. Every seed on our strawberries are sprouting like a chia pet.
Oh no! Best of luck in saving your strawberry season!
could you tell me the best fungicide technical content for strawberry plants plez?
Hi, Sanjeev. We raise organic strawberries and do not use fungicides.
Do strawberries grow well in a raised bed since the soil level is lower than the sides of the raised bed. Would it be a good idea to make sure the soil level is near the top of the raised bed?
Yes they do.
I honestly dont know whats is going wrong with my bed. I only have one poant who has grown big and keep fruiting. But it seems that whatever the rest are suffering of are catching up to it. I believe they all suffer from cyclamen mites. Happened last year too when i was growing in pots. The new growth after the flowering is tiny with crinkled leaves, they are most of the tine light green in colour or almost yellow. And if they grow(some of them just die and turn brown) they dont grow tall at all. Happens also to the flower buds. I live in an area where bindweed is extremly common and somehow it has invaded my bed. I have to remove them everyday everytime i see them. I though i had nitrogen deficiency and that was why my strawberries aint doing really well. Im scared to use too much fertilizer because i burned by accident one plant last year pretty bad.
