My husband and I just recently found your channel and just love watching your videos! While watching this video we noticed that you guys are part of our tribe! Love the tzitzits!❤❤ Shalom friends!
Thanks for the video y'all! The gutter system looks great. Big advantage to this system is that it is easy to see when they are ripe, and easy to reach them. No more crawling around on your knees... like I do... One downside; the roots have very little soil to pull nutrients from, and within a week, they will be starving. You will have to feed them everything they need, on a weekly basis.
Hi Green Acres family. Enjoy watching you and listening to the boys playing like little boys do. My suggestion about your runners that you put in water is to buy Root Tone and sprinkle some in the water. It is great way to encourage root growth. Love Strawberries
"Stwawberryologist Sam" 🤣 Love this concept you came up with here. You already have a crop going but I wonder about pollinators getting to the blossoms. Crows would get my muscadines just as picking day came around. Very frustrating. Take care and God bless.
Great idea with the gutters. I may have to try that when I get the greenhouse I would love to have. Good video and yes, love the Fiskars trimmers. I use all the Fiskars scissor products in my sewing workshop over the years. They are awesome! I loved the photo of Angela reading to the boys.......that was so so sweet. A day in the life of MOM. :-) Blessings for a great day!
I recently heard Mossy Bottom channel say one way he gets a good strawberry harvest, is to pick them as soon as they start to show some red, then let them finish ripening in the house. He grows in the ground and harvests enough to sell in his road side stand, so it seems to work.
Finally, as of right I've watched every video in the "videos" list, starting from old to latest. I've very much enjoyed your channel & have learned a thing or 2. You've come a long way from the well house build days. Thanks for all your hard work. Not sure really how getting paid from UA-cam works but I hope you guys are getting yours, you deserve it. Thanks again for a great chanel.
Another feel good video. It perks me up to see a happy family with mum and dad working together. Love it. The strawberry gutters look great. Very professional.
When ive tried to get free plants from the runners ive put the runners into soil but left them attached to the mother plant until they took root then cut the runner. Success
I am still waiting to see that rain dance. lol, I think it would be funny as well as entertaining as all get out,,,lol. You can remove the runners now, or you can leave them on the plant, it won’t affect fruiting. When you remove the runners, plant them out to become your strawberry plants for next season. If you leave your existing strawberry plants in, next season the crop and fruit size will be reduced, therefore you will get a more abundant crop next season... Transplanting Strawberry Runners. Cut the small plants from the runners. Do this in the fall as soon as the baby plants have a well-defined cluster of leaves and visible roots. The runner can be completely removed from the parent and the baby plant with garden shears. Prepare the planting bed. Choose an area that has good drainage.
Nice and neat , strawberry racks , excellent idea . Dip the cuttings in rooting powder to help develop new roots faster , just a thought . Keep up the excellent work and content guys , 👍 . .

Sam, Angela what a great idea the gutter system is, here's a similar system I adopted from an old work mate many years ago, here's how he did it, he grew his strawberry's in large pots in his greenhouse, he had 3 rows and each row had a different coloured pot (you will see why) he used what he called his 3 tier system, to get his 3 tiers he had to start somewhere, so the first 2 years he took as many runners (suckers we call them) as he could, to give him the three rows he needed, choosing only the strongest plants. From then on he only took runners from the oldest plants, any runners from the other plants were cut off and discarded, he clipped a smaller pot to the sides of the larger growing pots to root them in, when rooted he separated them from the parent plant and grew them on separately changing them into larger pots when needed, till the final pot, from these newly rooted plants he again only selected the strongest plants to make enough for a new row, discarding any others. When a 3 year old plant had finished it's crop season, they were discarded, (you have to be ruthless in this), but don't forget these old plants also supplied the new plants for next season, hence the reason for the coloured pots for rotation purposes, each year the plants moved down a row, from the youngest at the top to the oldest on the bottom, he swore down by growing them this way they gave him the best quantity and disease/pest free crops. The 2 year old plants give the heaviest crop usually.
The strawberry gutters look very nice, hope the top ones pick up more, or though you may have drowned them at first, but after draining CPR, hopefully all is good now ! 😊👍💕💕💕
A good way to block the drain holes that you drilled is to use some of the metal roofing screws that have the rubber washer under the head. Just screw them into the holes using a hand tool and not the drill. The drill would probably strip the plastic on the gutter.
I found your channel yesterday so now I'm binge watching your vlogs lol you guys are so cute and funny right now I'm watching the deer fence zip tie and I can't stop laughing the kids are with meme lol ❤️❤️❤️
Great vid. I have a 5' length of guttering, just rang the hardware and they have the matching pins and I straw berries are growing madly in the front garden so I'm so I'm about to attach it all to the privacy fence. And hope the possums don't get them!!
Excellent idea y'all have with the strawberries. Let's hope the racoons don't discover the berries new home and tear up the sheeting while climbing up to feast. Might need to have a racoon catch, clean and cook vlog soon. Then you can also make coon skin hats and Arkansas toothpicks from the males.😂
Great idea guys. I think I'll do the same. I saw dipping your strawberries in salt water helps get worms and bugs off them👌👍🏆 great fun video and I think your green house looks just awesome ❣️❣️❣️
I looked at the vinyl gutters and they were only 4" wide so it seemed like a very small place to grow my strawberries. Although I do like the look and feel and how easy you were able to put them up. I am in the process of nailing up 3 -10' gutters on the outer wall of my house, which is stucco / brick. So I picked up a carbine drill bit and a about 16- 3" tapcons. Wish me luck !!!!
Excuse for troubling. And a huge gratitude for the video clip of how you grow strawberries ... We have some questions for you, because English is not our native language and we did not understand a lot what you explained. We watched a lot of similar videos and almost everyone talks about different things, namely what composition of the earth needs to be created, for example, many people recommend adding and what did you use from this list? Peat Moss,Compost, perlite,Fertilizer. And how do you feed your strawberry plants after planting?
My husband and I just recently found your channel and just love watching your videos! While watching this video we noticed that you guys are part of our tribe! Love the tzitzits!❤❤ Shalom friends!
try planting the runners into the soil below, then, when you see new growth on the runners snip them off the mother plant
Looks great. I home schooled both of my girls as well. The last just graduated H.S. God Bless you and your family.
the shot through those barrels was the sweetest thing.
That is the best idea I have ever seen to produce strawberries. Visually beautiful easy to pick and in a very safe and Sunny place. You guys rock

You have sweet dispositions and the lovely life you created will serve those children. Thanks for sharing.
What a neat idea. You are really getting things set up good in your greenhouse.
I love Angela's little nose crunch.
One of my fav family s.
Looks pretty good to me. 👍
Another tip to try, try growng tomatoes like the strawberries hanging rather than in a pot growing up a post or trellis

Looking amazing! Love how it’s all coming together.
thanks to u guys
Looks really nice on there a lot of runners for new plants
I love it I know what you mean we never get too eat ours either so this is a good idea,yall two make a good team.

Great idea! Strawberry all year!
Great video. Thank you for sharing. You are a blessed man. Your wife was reading a book to your boys. Excellent! 🏆
you and your brother are my new favorites on utube
Gutter planting great idea ❣️❣️❣️❣️
It's good to have a handyman around!
Another feel good video. It perks me up to see a happy family with mum and dad working together. Love it. The strawberry gutters look great. Very professional.
Thank you so much! We try to be the light and happiness in the world that we want to see. :)
@@sam-and-angela You are succeeding!
Yes you are. Salt and light 💥
Like the gutter idea. My greenhouse is metal so will check it out today. Thanks guys 😎🍷🚍⚓️🇬🇧
Yep he is your helper😉
I love the way the two of you work together. Keep the videos coming, we love them!
First I have ever seen yall in Tzit Tziot....LOVE IT.
😊❤️
Looking good
very enjoyable video love your interaction with each other
I love your strawberry gutter system.
You two are fun too listen to and learn so much lotsa ideas to put to work. It’s all life and good !
When ive tried to get free plants from the runners ive put the runners into soil but left them attached to the mother plant until they took root then cut the runner.
Success
Nice job with rhe strawberries! And a good way to salvage scrap building material.
What a cool idea!
Great idea. I love watching your channel. Good luck with the strawberries.
Pretty stinking brilliant. And it looks great, too.
I found a good way to keep the raccoons and other animals to stop eating the strawberries.....I quit planting them. Outside anyway.
Its just so hard to find good dirt holders these days!😊💚
It IS pretty to look at. Nice addition!
I love Fiskar scissors she says as she is using a pair to snip the seams on a rag quilt while watching your video. :o)
😂👍
That was a Awesome idea
Holy cow! That's a lot of strawberry plants :-)
Looks good guys. Hope they all survive esp. Your new ones.
Hi mishpacha. Strawberries gutter is a great idea. Love your tzitzits 🥰 Shalom from Puerto Rico🇵🇷
What a BRILLIANT idea ......and recycling too all in one ! the gutter system. like the hanging gardens of Babylon.
That’s the most creative thing? Looks awesome!!
Great idea to use the gutters for the strawberry plants. Here in Australia the possums eat our strawberries before we get to them.
we have the same problem in south australia also birds and blue tounge lizards. lol
Thanks for sharing this project, something I'm really interested in, and I know I can trust you two to be honest about how well it all works.
What a great way to plant strawberries. You guys are awesome
never seen it done like that. great idea. and sure looks nice! hope they pick back up soon.
I really enjoy your videos and ideas 💡 your family is awesome 👏
what a great idea
Thank you! 😊
@@sam-and-angela Your welcome

Your supposed to tie runners into compost in new pots while their still attached to the mother plant, then in autumn snip them off the mother plants
Nice and neat , strawberry racks , excellent idea . Dip the cuttings in rooting powder to help develop new roots faster , just a thought . Keep up the excellent work and content guys , 👍 . .
Y'all are so clever! Love this idea!
That does look nice.
Cant wait to see how they do!! Great us of space!! Good job Angela and dirtbag...I mean Sam!! 😁
This will truly help you from over watering
Man, I'm jealous!! All those berries!!
Maybe recycle water from draining berries recycle drip system??
Place the runners in extra pott with soil until they root, then cut them from the mature plant.
Another great job done. Keep up the good work.

Great idea 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Damn I had so many old gutters I should used when my roof was replaced.
I love it. I know it will work. If the tape doesn't hold then try hot glue (low temp) I want to try this. Thanks so much for sharing.
The strawberry gutters look very nice, hope the top ones pick up more, or though you may have drowned them at first, but after draining CPR, hopefully all is good now ! 😊👍💕💕💕
Love the idea guess I’ll be building a greenhouse next
You guys are fun to watch. I really hope your strawberries perk up and thrive and bless you with lots and lots of berries. (:
Love your channel, keep up the good work 🍓🍓🍓 !!!
Ur doing a excellent job.🍓🍓🍓

That is a neat idea 🤔🤗
Someone said to paint some rocks red and it will fool the birds. I wonder if it would fool the raccoons. They are very smart.
Kathrine Kerns a raccoon just tells me it does not work. « We are not as dumb » that is what he said.🙃🙃🤣
don't forget to sterilize them between different plant species.. love that tool.
Shalom, great video!
I found your channel yesterday so now I'm binge watching your vlogs lol you guys are so cute and funny right now I'm watching the deer fence zip tie and I can't stop laughing the kids are with meme lol ❤️❤️❤️
Fiskars are the best !!! Lucky man!
Hi guys, loove the idea of strawberry gutters, ive had the same,the only thing you haven't done is put in drainage holes .
Hope you get some strawberries they are so good, is a really nice system 👍👍👍 you guys always make me laugh in a good way:-):-):-)
I love that idea! BTW...ya'll are gonna blow away in the wind soon if y'all keep losing the weight! Ya'll are looking amazing!
Great vid. I have a 5' length of guttering, just rang the hardware and they have the matching pins and I straw berries are growing madly in the front garden so I'm so I'm about to attach it all to the privacy fence. And hope the possums don't get them!!
Sorry too anxious question below on drainage👍👍
Great idea to upcycle the gutters. I may do that myself, possums are nasty little buggers. But, that wall screams hydroponics.
I enjoyed ur video. I think cabana boy would be good
Excellent idea y'all have with the strawberries. Let's hope the racoons don't discover the berries new home and tear up the sheeting while climbing up to feast.

oh my wow Angela If he did that to me I would have put that dirt on top of his head hehe. I agree! We need a "Just call me Dirtbag Tshirt! LOL

A little bit of suggestion 🤔 to make before putting dirt in it pt a 1 in a half of perlite before putting the dirt down
When transplanting strawberries (and tomatoes) add banana peels it provides the nutrients to keep the plants from dying off from shock
Is there a video showing how these strawberry plants produced? How did this work?
Excuse for troubling. And a huge gratitude for the video clip of how you grow strawberries ... We have some questions for you, because English is not our native language and we did not understand a lot what you explained.

Thanks for sharing! How did it go? What kind of yield can we expect growing like this?
I just watched a good video on strawberries on a youtube show from Ireland called Mossy Bottom". Thought you might be interested. Enjoy your show.
I'm in zone 6b, how do you winterize these gutter-berries and basket-berries if I don't have a green house like you ?
What a smart idea!! Wonder what else could be grown in gutters? 😊
I grow peas to 4 inches, then make a trough n put whole length in pat em in.
