LOL, I kept it in the video thought it was honest. I didn't have the air turned up enough and the ash was way harder that I thought. Those stands are heavy
The aerial video really enhances the beauty of your operations there Doug! Almost as tho Katy is a day early this week, or a bonus video. Yes cold weather is slow to depart these parts too. But at least some beneficial rain this morning after all these many dry months. Happy Planting! -Bob...
Thank you for the shoutout guys. I am anxiously looking forward to seeing your results. Have you thought of doing a cost comparison between the 2 methods? That would also be cool. We got 54 pounds out of the greenhouse this week
Coarse coir chunks are you friend. I find shallow promix too sludgy at the bottom. Perlite loosens it at the cost of water retention. The coarse coir I found helped (when used with perlite) and when I pulled out the strawberries the roots were wrapped around all the chunks.
Such a fun video!! I’m Excited to see what the strawberries 🍓 look like!! Can you keep last years plants and have your own dormant plants for the next year?
Yes, you can. We did not from last year but this year we are going to try and replant them outside in a enclose area where the deer can't get them. We will probably get new stock each year for the Bato buckets just to make sure our production is consistent year to year.
👍 and an extra one for the pup 👍😝 what’s left of my strawberries Pushing flowers already , a few window boxes of them over winter them in the greenhouse ,but have to plant more 2/3rd the ones in a tier planter died off 🤷♂️ actually don’t know why I should lucky to get any berries anyways! One of my 4legged turd barrels likes berries got to keep an eye on him 😳 he especially likes the raspberries 🤦 he just goes to a bush and plucks em off with his lips! It’s crazy never seen a dog do that , never fed him any yet he knows they’re edible 😝🤦 … ✌️🤙
@@HomegrownPassion hahahaha does he cook em or have you do the steaming ? Actually that’s funny he pluck em off the stalk 😝 haven’t seen him eat anything else as far as I know but keep an eye on him call him out when I see him searching all the other garden plants.! 😳🤦 .. but ya these guys eat anything , the lil guy loves oranges lol he knows you have one trying to sneak it off before ya even crack the skin , then he’s right there in your face uh hum I am getting one of them wedges RIGHT? 😝 … guess count you blessings he don’t like cherry maters & gherkins 😆 ✌️
@@HomegrownPassion I guessed that when i saw the nails bend. We had to take ten ash down because of Emerald Ash borer. but what a great idea to use some of my ash!
those are hanging strawberry BATO buckets purchased from CropKing. They are not listed on the website you have to call them but let them know we sent you and they will take great care of you. tel:+1 330 302 4203
yes, but not sure what to call it. When i said before it was hydroponic because it what not grown in soil i got comments saying it was soil. LOL tell me what I should call it
@@HomegrownPassion Haha Promix is definitely hydroponic and not soil so i would just call it promix or coco to avoid confusion. Thanks for all your videos i enjoy them tremendously !
Promix has no coco. It's mostly peat with a tiny bit of perlite, lime, and vermiculite/wetting agent. I think potting mix would be the most common term between gardeners and soil scientists (who'd brille at it being called just 'soil') LOL. 'Soil' is typically reserved for glacial grind mix that can provide some trace minerals, unlike the wholly inert hydroponic substrates we're using.
So we tried that last year and it worked great. Just trying something new this year. We cant plant outside with out tons of fencing because of all the deer and animals like to eat our stuff...
Doug -You bent the nail mate🤣🤣. Good to see someone with my standard of carpentry. Good video guys.

Nice drone capture of our FLAT horizon. ;) Excellent video and music!
Many thanks!
Picked up right you left off last week. Thx for not letting us miss anything!
A good lesson in saw horse design. That same technique can be used to make any width and height saw horse. Thank you for sharing.
You're very welcome!

Good idea. 54 ponds of strawberries. That is awesome. Your strawberry house is killing it! Great job!!!!
Love those aerial shots!!

I will have to look into that. Thank you for the suggestion
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it

Great video! Do you keep your strawberry plants over winter or purchase new plants?
we are planning on this year. We have to make an enclosures to keep the deer away. These strawberries are new stock
What is the nutrient solution formulation you are using for the strawberries?
Where did you buy the buckets? I don’t see the type that you have?
We purchased the hanging strawberry bato buckets from crop king. Let them know we sent you and they will take great care of you.

I was curious as to how you feel about adding grow lights. Did you find the benefit worth the cost?
Should know after our next electric bill.
Any particular timber will do as i dont know what you're using ?
That was an ash tree I sawed on the woodmizer

Where did you purchase the bato buckets??
The hanging strawberry buckets are from CropKing in Lodi Ohio
Are those June bearing or ever bearing strawberries? Thanks
Hi those are everbearing. The cultivar is Albion
Whats the name for the buckets?

Hey there Katy , why are you calling it soil ? Is that promix not just coco/perlite mix?
yes, but not sure what to call it. When i said before it was hydroponic because it what not grown in soil i got comments saying it was soil. LOL tell me what I should call it

Why not turn the high tunnel into another hydroponic set-up. Plant the stuff in there outside
So we tried that last year and it worked great. Just trying something new this year. We cant plant outside with out tons of fencing because of all the deer and animals like to eat our stuff...
You really should have turned up the air pressure. Needing to use the hammer made the job twice as hard.
agree
