- After retiring the old strawberry towers, I decided to try 2 new ways of growing strawberries... hydroponically in a "Strawberry Skyscraper" and in space saving rain gutters.
Missed your last video but will keep praying for you. I hope you get the treatment you need and answers you need. Stay strong and enjoy your beautiful garden . God bless you and take your family in His wings and keep you all safe and heal you.
Double the fun! Thank you both. You are in my prayers.
Prayers for you Brian! Love your videos! I’m 70 and always looking for better ways to garden. You have some great ideas!
This is a great idea for small backyard gardens! Thanks! I also love seeing the nasturtiums in the background, one of my favorites!
Great pointers for raingutter planting. I got a replacement job throw away piece, which is metal, 7 or 8" deep. You have valid concerns with overheating and freezing. I'm in Northern California, we dont freezing, but get cold enough and way hot. Great idea of separating water zone for them. I have one unused!
Good work young man, stay interested, learn all you can from your dad, it will come useful when you're older!
Best wishes for your health concern, I don't know what it is, but stay positive! I was graced with beating stage 3 pancreatic cancer. Hugs!
Thank you. Awesome on beating the cancer ❤❤
OMG, I love this idea, I live in Michigan, in the suburbs, my property butts up to the railroad tracks and I get all kinds of wildlife in my yard, I am definitely gonna try the gutter planter.
What a warm video...Actually this is what I like best about your videos...there is a warmth that comes them.God bless you and your family.
I love the rain gutter idea and will probably try it out this coming Spring.here in Brisbane Australia. I live in the sub-tropics so freezing is not an issue but I may use the second gutter idea. Thanks for your channel. It is always full of practical tips and I like your no BS approach.
Thank you for some extra help! Congratulations on 17yrs!
Still keeping you in my prayers (now if I only knew your name). Glad you're getting other opinions. I just have to say that Noah's serious expressions of agreement while you're describing the materials was PRICELESS. He didn't ham it up --he just did what they do on TV. Well done, Noah!! The strawberries in the rain gutter got me all excited until I remembered that summers in Ojai can reach 110 degrees...maybe no metal rain gutters here. LOL. Good to see you again!
Thank you❤ my name is Brian😉
I found your Channel Yesterday!!! What a joy! I am jealous about your Bougainvillea, I am from Mexico, and we have them everywhere, now I live in Mississippi (zone 8), and they don't make it outside during the winter. Well, I was told, they don't. Anyway, I am hooked with your videos, keep the excellent job! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
It is awesome seeing you so happy, please keep it up like that. You have no idea the impact you have in your body, cells, heart and mind when you are positive and happy. Ooh my heart is happy to see you happy. We have so many reasons to be well and happy but the most important reason is our selves because all depends on us, how we want to filter, take, digest all news, information that we received every moment of every day good or bad, ultimate is up to us if we have a good day or not.
Keep it up💜👍👍💜👍👍💜
Love your straberry growing method, can't wait to start sowing seeds with you guys for spring🍅👍
Thank you so much❤❤
Feb 26 it’s 23° and snowing in Michigan, I love winter and the snow but when I watch gardening videos I start to get impatient for warm weather and gardening, good luck with your test planters.
Brian, wonderful to see you and Noah again. I only found you a few days ago and I have been binge watching your videos because you have inspired me to get back in the dirt. My thoughts and prayers continue with and for you. You and your videos are such a gift to us. I know you have a special purpose in the world and that you will continue on in good health. Love and hugs to you and Noah...he's a doll and does a great job!
Thank you❤
❤️ great job you two!
I’d hit the like button just for the father-son growing experiments. 😊 Great job guys.
Very clever! I like the gutter idea.
You're awesome man, I'm praying for you.
Glad to see you posting a new vid. Hang in there my brother.
Thank you❤
Feel better! Thanks for all the info. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think we need to get back to learning how to be self-sufficient I love to teach my kids to garden and take care of themselves I think that's an important thing to teach our children
You are in my daily prayers Brian. Good luck for your next doctor's visit. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🤗🍀🍀
That gutter thingy. It was a failure for me here in Florida. It was not deep enough. I'm going to try your strawberry tower instead. Good luck to you! 🤞
Thank you!
Thank you. I'm starting a victory garden. And your videos are great. Sending healing prayers and positivity your way.
God totally loves you for using his Earth and all the wonderful things he has given us. He wanted you to make a statement! With all the healthy eating that you do and for sharing all your knowledge about how to use the things God gave us, you're going to be just fine. I just know it. Positive thinking and thanking. Love you Brian
Going to try the rain gutters since a have a small space ... Tell your son he did a great job on the video
I have set up a few gutters for lettuce, but since they are not food safe (the paint and the plastic), I lined them with aluminum foil. Love the channel
Aluminium foil is extremely unsafe. It is toxic
We love you and are praying for your good health
Thank you❤
You are my favorite person to get information from. I work in med/neuro so I see aneurysms etc.. I know this video is 4 years old but I pray for you and think of you when I have patients in a similar situation.
At 7:20sec you said at this point you don’t want the plant focusing on fruit so you’ll pinch off the flowers. That will make it focus on leaf and root development. When do I pinch off the flowers? In the spring of the first year?
You are an amazing gardener I've learned so much from your shows I was going to give up on growing certain vegetables I've been dealing with that tomato rot for a while and I can't believe that it's justt the leaves getting wet which I have been doing, You're amazing keep it up I would not have no problem sponsoring your show
Thank you. I appreciate that so much!
Great video will try guttering next year! Learnt a lot about strawberries from this video thanks ☘️☘️☘️
OH MY GOODNESS, YOUR SON IS ADORABLE!!
Glad to see you back playing in the dirt.
Nice to be back. Thank you.
Noah is such a great helper!!
Sometimes😉
Nice work, brother!! Go Noah! CameraGuy
Thank you❤
Thank you for you sharing your knowledge ..
Awesome! You guys are great!! Thanks
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for great ideas..
You're welcome
Still praying for you and I hope your family is fairing well with all that is going on with you and the world. Blessings to you!
Thank you!❤
Thank you for sharing your passion. I'm sorry you are not well. But I am discovering you now. Just try the hydroponic and I was at Epcot when I wanted to do this. Hope we can find more fun together.
I’m eager to try growing strawberries in the rain gutters. My husband thinks I’m nuts!
Very smart 🤓!! I was thinking about making my own little small bed and drill it to the patio n adding my strawberries to it and keep the snails 🐌 slugs and ants off of my berries.
Using plastic or metal rain gutters is the absolute way to grow strawberries. Strawberry towers appear unique and worthy - but if you ever do strawberry gutters - you will never use towers or do flatlander strawberry gardening ever again. No excess dirt and fixed garden land use. Minimal fertilization and irrigation, with maximum mulching. Easy mobility of gutters by putting into the sun and move into shade in extreme heat weather days. Able to put the gutters atop and along a terraced flat-surfaced stone/concrete wall (raised beds), lay out on a patio or decking (or their fencing rails), put into a gazebo, or put along a roadside. One can even use the inside portion of a stone/concrete stairway (or the patio/decking wooden stairs) - and put the gutter against the back of the steps. One can even make an espalier scaffolding and have an entire vertically-shelved gutter wall of strawberries (and green screen shade) - for as many as 8 inches apart in height for up to ~6 feet (9 vertical rows). Having modern gutter lengths of 8, 10, up to 16 foot lengths, with plants in the gutter 8 inches apart has 9, 15, and 24 plants in each gutter for up to 9 vertical rows - with 84, 120, and 216 plants. Thattsa lotta strawberries to eat ! No real downsides to gutters - unless they are left outside in the Winter - when in reality, they can easilby be brought inside and put into a warm southern-facing room (up against the northern wall with full sunlight) and the plants can over-winter - until Spring, when they are taken back outside.
Nice to see your Gardening enthusiasm pass on to a younger generation :-)
I have a Tower Garden as well, it was actually how I started getting into Gardening some 6 years ago. It was fun using it outside but after I started building big soil based gardening infrastructure in the backyard, I moved it to be used strictly inside with grow lights. Anyway, wanted to comment on the nutrient solutions used in the reservoir. I've opted only to ever use the Tower Tonic solutions A and B that are sold from the TG manufacturer, cuz they just work really well. You could also use any such chemical based fertilizers for hydroponics use and I'm sure it'd achieve same results. But organic solutions, I was warned by a few people that it's not a great idea for this system, because not only will you not be able to really measure out as accurately a consistent/correct amount of macro and micro nutrients, the organic matter is also likely to rot away in the contained reservoir, potentially creating undesirable odours but worst, potentially create a biome that could bring on disease to some plants. So while I can't confirm that as true, will be cool if you report your results at the end or midway through the growing season!
Press on !

Thanks for the info. I kinda figured.
Thinking of doing this, and thinking of using white rocks in the bottom (from garden) with some mesh, then potting mixon top, so through the rocks it drains (and putting on 1-2 degrees down angle) here in Melbourne, AU. - probably have three layers that are 1m long to keep it compact also.
You are so so handsome just like your plants. I learn a lot of from you my dear 😘😘😘😘
Greenstalk towers I've heard are Awesome. Family owned business in Knoxville TN. For each level you could plant 3 plants. They have 2 different type you could grow more than strawberries/Herbs. Some have grown peppers & dwarf tomatoes.

Your case is so rare that I bet your doctors are submitting their write-ups to medical journals. Best wishes for a full recovery. 🙏
Thank you❤
We are planning on changing up our strawberries this year and doing something like this this year. New friend Ruthie
Good luck!
Hi Brian! We're in Northern Virginia. We've purchased numerous bare root strawberries. We have them in our garage under grow lights and on heat mats. We even added a fan after watching one of your videos. They start off doing so well then a couple weeks later, the leaves start wilting and dying off. We've checked the PH. We've fed them. We're not overwatering (we don't completely drench them and do allow them to dry.) Our garage does not get below 50 degrees. What in the world are we doing wrong??
Like the idea might have to try it out or something similar
I'm more excited to learn about the flower plant Bougainville in the background, it's beautiful.
🤣🤣🤣 thank you!
Great idea! And it does take less space than my crates planter... ^_^’
great idea! wish i could start gardening now, expecting snow tonight. ☹️
You know I've never actually seen it snow🤪
California Garden TV.................Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat!?! 😳
@@orscrub3161 I know!!! Been to the snow a few times but never seen it falling. Very sheltered over here weather wise🤣🤣🤣
California Garden TV ..............you’re missing something magical!!! unless you have to drive in it 😫
@@orscrub3161 I know. It's on my bucket list👍😃
I wonder if instead of in the future using a second gutter with soil in it underneath, My brain goes to how helpful it might be to do that but with either water or pebbles and water to give the roots a moist place to move on to. And they could also be fed diluted fertilizer into that reservoir, sort of adding a few perks of a hydroponic system as well
Cute kid. I smashed the like button :-)
Thank you!
I love it. The nasturtium plant. Is that just for beauty, or other reasons?
What a great idea to use a rain gutter for strawberries! I have a very small garden and the strawberries are along a fence so they don't get very much sunlight. Raising them up in a rain gutter would solve that problem excellently. Do you think covering the gutter on the ground with straw would be enough protection in the winter? I live in New York City.
Any updates on how these strawberries did last year? Do you recommend using gutter?
How many drain holes? Is there an update did you have to add the 2nd gutter for roots
Brian, I watched your strawberry's in a laundry basket video and I know it was older because Noah looked much younger. How did that system work for you?
It is very interesting to grow strawberries in a hydroponic tower, the strawberry plants grow faster than if they were in the ground. The only problem is that the body becomes too long, and ends up with the weight of the strawberries, to make the plant fall from its net pot.
Someone to tell you a different thing, and that is that you are fine 🤗
Did you have good success with your strawberry plants using the gutter system on a long-term basis? I am going to be planting some this year.
Great video, What is the depth of the gutter? Thanks.
Hello. Question about fertilizer. I accidentally bout Holly-Tone instead of Berry-Tone. Both are 4-3-4. Can I use Holly-Tone on my strawberries and blueberries? Thank you!!
I can't find a follow up video to this one. How did the gutter strawberries work out ? Would you still recommend growing them in gutters ?
Just wondering what material the gutters are and if it is food safe? If not, what can it be lined with?
would like to try the gutter idea because the creepy crawlies eat the strawberries on the ground! However, hubs is concerned about the gutter material leaching into the soil?
Are your gutters 4 or 5 in. Deep? I have 200 plants that I made from runners and I'm planning on putting them in gutters. You brought up a good point on overwintering in a garage....I live at 4200 ft. In socal and didn't think about next winter. My mother plants are in raised beds and have been covered 4 times in snow, and we are getting more snow next week. They are doing fine...I just left all the dried leaves on top. Thanks for making me rethink this gutter project!!
I think 4 inches
I've tried strawberries in large gutters but they are getting brown edges and some are dying. I water then daily and the soil is usually fairly dry then next day before watering. Whats wrong?
Very curious how your home made nutrient solution turned out for the hydroponics tower (compost tea, worm tea, seaweed solution and ... Fish food?). Did it work or did you have to switch to consumer products?
It didn't. I switched to commercial but even that was to difficult and time consuming so I quit.
what is the name of the pink flowers in the background very beautiful... As you can tell I'm a Newb LOL
I live in Sacramento, ca and I have 2 strawberry bare root that we’re starting to grow but then wilted and not sure if I can save them. Should I keep my plants in the shade when it over 84 degrees?
At least in the beginning till their established
Do you have the materials linked somewhere? I want to do this!
Is it okay if the gutter is aluminum? I'm always a little suspicious of aluminum leaching into the plant, but, I really don't know anything about it!
Would I be able to attach to my privacy fence with those clips or would I need more support?
How did this planting method work for you? ( as this video is from a year ago)
As long as your fence is fairly sturdy. Yes!
Oh my gosh! We need Noah to get a group going with his age group! He has pizazz! It would be totally awesome for these age girls and guys to get all the experience growing! What do you think Noah and Dad?
What else can we plant in the gutter after the straw berries die ? Also this spot looks very shady
Prayer warriors are everywhere n God answers prayers.
What material were you talking about when you said you could wrap the gutters for winter? I just planted strawberries in gutters without thinking about overwintering and now I am panicking! Oops lol I have over a 100 plants I would love not to kill!
Fleece. Floating row covers.
Just wondering if you have an update on this video? I looked but didn't see one that would have a title that showed an update.
Actually updated on today's frequently asked video. Should be out within the next hour or 2
Your son is the cutest! Following your footsteps :)
Hi Brian!!Hope you are doing well. I have tried 2 of your experiments growing strawberries but now the birds are eating the berries on the gutters!! Any suggestions??? So far the score is Birds 15 - Me -0 😢
Hi Maria! Doing good. Thank you. Bird netting will keep them off.
@@NextLevelGardening Thank you Brian! Will that prevent pollinators from getting to the flowers? How is your ankle? I'm the lady who recommended to do ABC's as therapy for your injury...remember? 💝😊
they use that at the classroom garden
Let's 🙏 for you good health
I will continue holding you up
Thank you❤
Why can't the gutter that you put underneath be hydroponics that the roots grow down in and suck nutrients
check out my new updated system you will love it! thanks again for the awesome channel!!
Keep your chin up! CBD is your friend. I love my rain gutter strawberries! Just stay on top of the watering and spacing when you plant.
Namaste🙏❤️
Thank you❤
I don't know what they've diagnosed you with but you know that foods natural foods can heal a lot of things such as turmeric and all kinds of things, food is usually the solution to most problems That's what modern science will not tell you because it's cheap lol they don't like the fact that you can grow your own medicines for free and your back yard we'll pray for you hopefully it's nothing serious 🙏
Yes doing all of that thank you!
I'm having a problem with my strawberries. In the beginning they were very sweet, now they are not. What do I need to do or not do.
