Do you have an update on how this worked over last winter?
Could you give us an update video on how this process turned out for you? Thanks.
In zone 5, with arid warm periods followed by arctic fronts, this method will not work. I took the levels apart, placed them in a semi shaded garden, covered them with pinestraw, and placed tree trimmings to secure. This allowed an environment similar to if they had been in the ground, and allowed them to benefit from snow and rain. Survival was about 80%.
Initially, we had what appeared to be a good survival rate, but we think you are right. We will do much better by taking the levels apart next year, which is our plan. Thank you for your comment!
I appreciate your sharing. Did you dig a hole to place the planter in? What are you referencing with 'tree trimmings'?
Thank you. :)
I am in Colorado, zone 5b. The wind, variable temperatures, and winter drought are the worst enemy to overwintering anything in a container. I don't put them in a hole but in October I do place bags of soil around them where most exposed, and keep watered. In November I water well, and cover 4-6" deep with pinestraw. Any clippings to keep the pinestraw in place might work, but I place evergreen branches on the top, sometimes place bird netting over that as wind can blow away everything. Don't do this until they are going dormant. Make sure you water the mound if there is drought and the ground has not frozen. Uncover a little at a time (I start in April). In May when they start to bloom, I stack them up again.
Thanks
Thank you for helpful info!!
Thank you so mych
Helpful hints! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! I know you are in a slightly warmer growing zone, but I think they would likely be useful tips for you as well.
GREAT Tips my BUDDY 🇨🇦‼️
Thank you so much! What are your average cold temps there over the winter?
Great tips!
Thank you Clau! We are excited for next spring. :)
great video!! thank you!!
Thank you so much for watching! Good luck with growing your own strawberries!
Great video buddy!
Thank you so much! We have some cold days coming soon.
This is such a great video, exactly the info I was looking for. Last year I lost all of my strawberry plants due to not winterizing my greenstalks.....hoping I can save mine this time.
One thing I would note. We made the mistake of unwrapping too early and we had a freeze that followed that cost us dearly. One thing we suggest is to also move the greenstalk up close to the house if possible and keep it nice and wrapped until you are sure there should be no additional freezes. :)
This was a really interesting and informative video - thank you!
You are welcome! One thing I would recommend, and we learned this after going through the winter, you may want to disassemble the tiers instead of keeping it all together, and move it up close to the house. We had a lower survival rate than we wanted, partially because I unwrapped it too early :(, but we think this will improve our results this year. Best of luck!
I kept strawberry plants in my unheated garage, but they all died except for 1 out of like 20
Hello my name is Fred, I have selected the everbaring strawberries to grow this season but I will be growing them in a hanging baskets for this season, and next spring I am going to pick up a 15' Rain Gutter and drill holes in it for drainage and see how it produces and I will be mounting this to a fence.
Ps. You clip on Raspberry was informative 👌
Keep up the good growing...
Did your strawberries that you overwintered in you GS leaf planter come back this spring?
Great video!
I also have similar questions.
Can you Please answer the questions in your comments. 😊
I am so sorry for the very late response. What we learned is that our survival rate for the plants was still not as high as we hoped it would be. Part of that is also likely because I uncovered them a little too soon unfortunately. One thing we are going to change up this year is that we are going to disassemble the greenstalk before prepping it, and either move it up directly beside our house or into our unheated garage. :) I hope that helps. Have a wonderful weekend!
I don't envy your coming cold my friend! I've started moving tomatoes outside, and I'm a week or so late. (But then I think about 6 months from now).
My baby strawberries from seed are developing nicely - no real cold in sight.
I do enjoy some things about the cold. And, I enjoy indoor gardening as well, so I can't complain too much. :) How much longer do your strawberries take to grow from seed, from your experience. We have some strawberry seeds we have been harvesting of late as well, and we want to experiment around with them a bit.
@@GutenGardening I think I did everything wrong - let them dry much too long before planting. In the Lab it took over a month before I saw signs of germination.
The friend that gave me the idea put hers in a moist paper towel in a ziplock bag right after harvesting the seeds and got good germination quickly.
Three weeks after planting mine in the tower most are up about 2" and looking healthy. But things grow slower this time of year.
@@geekygardens Interesting. We we will see how ours go keeping your points here in mind as well. There are so many variables with these kinds of things. :) I hope your weekend is going well!
I live in Door County Wisconsin. My strawberries are in two stock tanks. Do I need to insulate the outside of them?
💚👍
Thank you for watching!
Once it freezes and you've completed winterized it, do you need to water, or will the freeze keep sufficient moisture in the soil?
How many years can you overwinter strawberry plants in your Greenstalk. Do you need to amend the soil each year?
How do you revitalize your soil with all those strawberries in?
But what is your opinion about bringing the planters inside to my garage because there is plenty of space in there. Would it be better to do that or would it be better to leave them out on my deck with mulch?
What about freezing and thawing throughout the winter- won’t that damage the planter?
Where can I buy burlap?
Will strawberries stay dormant in a garage heated 50 to 60° during the winter?
I think that would be too warm for them. Many plants need a period of freezing temps, otherwise known as cold stratification.
How do I know when to bring the strawberries out of my unheated garage in the spring? I’m in zone six.
I am up near the Canadian border all my strawberries in containers died! I used straw put near house and they died !
How did your strawberries do this year?
