    Can you recommend something that has all of the micronutrients needed for strawberries? All i am finding only has the iron manganese magnesium calcium and sulfur. Sometimes with zinc but never boron.

    • @mikepowell8011

      You can fertilize with borax to supplement boron. Mule team is good and cheap.

    I just got some from the nursery ... they're pretty small still and I think I even have several plants in them and will need to separate it. Probably will anyway. But I'm not sure if they were fertilized or not... could I add a bit still? Or is it too much if they did already? I also have a liquid fertilizer .. is that fine since it's only twice a year? It's 10-15-10. Sorry if this is a dumb one but is it safe to water from the top with the fertilizer in it too? Or bottom water ? I don't want to hurt the plant 🌱

  • @Theflowergeekcrafts
    @Theflowergeekcrafts Рік тому +1

    Looking for some advice. My kids and I planted strawberries in pots because we didn’t have a lot of room in our raised garden beds, I trimmed a lot of runners off them throughout the season but our strawberries didn’t flower or fruit. Now the fall has come. We took all the dead plants out of the garden beds, and I was able to get the strawberries into one of the empty beds. I don’t know if it makes sense to put any fertilizer on them at this time of the year. I saw some of your videos about overwintering’s strawberries, so we are planning to do that, but I don’t know anything else to do to set them up to thrive next year.

    • @TheRipeTomatoFarms
      @TheRipeTomatoFarms  Рік тому

      Strawberries shut it down for the winter..... The best thing is just a quality soil, top dressed with compost, then mulched. The plants will spring back to life once the last frosts subside in the spring. Don't worry about nutrients until then. :-)

  • @jenniferk9926
    @jenniferk9926 Рік тому +3

    Hi Jeff, thanks again for another helpful tip. I went a different route with my potted plants that overwintered in my cool garage. Since I was repotting them anyway, I gave them a new blend of soil with something called Pittmoss. It seems to have needed nutrients in it.
    Quick question: my mother plants (just purchased last year) look very bulky, like they have a lot of crowns maybe? Some have growth, some do not. Do I need to break them up at some point? I am new to this so not sure what to do. My two "daughter" plants from last year look good. 👍

    • @TheRipeTomatoFarms
      @TheRipeTomatoFarms  Рік тому +1

      Fresh soil and a repotting totally works too Jennifer! For the mother plants, generally year 4 or 5 is when you break them up. So it all depends on how old they were when you bought them.... I usually break them up in the fall AFTER all the fruiting. There's a 2 month window where you can re-establish the plants no problem, that way you don't affect or set back that year's harvest.

    • @jenniferk9926
      @jenniferk9926 Рік тому

      @The Ripe Tomato Farms Thank you so much for the reply! I think I will just wait then, because I have no idea what the age of the mother plants are. I bought them last summer on clearance, so this will be my first harvest, if any at all. I did see berries last summer so at least that was a good sign. Plus, I got the two daughter plants off of each mother plant. This is just a small patch for me to try. Thanks again!

    QUESTION….. do you foliage feed your strawberries?

    • @TheRipeTomatoFarms
      @TheRipeTomatoFarms  7 місяців тому

      Hey Vicki, I normally don't bother. Everbearing only get fed twice in an entire year and june-bearing once. I save the foliar sprays for the heavy-feeding plants.

    I see that you cut your cover crops with scissors. But did you fully dig them up before planting your vegetables?

    • @TheRipeTomatoFarms
      @TheRipeTomatoFarms  Рік тому

      No, that defeats the purpose of the cover crop lisa. If you cut them right before they go to seed, but not too early, most cover crops simply die...they don't become the weeds you're trying to prevent. And by not digging them up, we preserve the top soil from damage and destruction.

      Hi Judy, I use a local brand, so its not really sold on Amazon. There also happens to be a MASSIVE shortage of fertilizers on the market right now. Aim for one with equal N.P.K. numbers. Even this one would do fine, although I'd like to see it have a higher K number: amzn.to/3H98f8q
