Ok thanks I will try to find it

@@ZaraThustra-w2n I don't know much about Matted row production, I've always grown strawberries as annuals on plastic mulch. But I have been growing Ruby June for several years now, it is a great variety. With a really mild fall like weve had, you will have some blooming in the fall, I've got some blooms on my plants now. I have in certain years seen plants covered in blooms at Christmas... (they'll be burnt off by the Frost) but they'll be covered in open blooms.

@@CherryHillFarm Thanks. I'm actually growing my Ruby June plants in hydroponic substrate on table tops. We plug the runners in Styrofoam cups. I'm a research market garden, but I am not in the no-till/regenerative camp. I think a combo of conventional agriculture and organic agriculture is the future.

@CherryHillFarm what is the bed height? Thank you for the response.

@LowesDepot 4-5 depends on soil

@@bradleywhitmer5379 absolutely. This year, with Neo lurking around we can't take any chances. We got clean plants and want to make sure we keep them that way.

Same here, my Reddick lifter is difficult to get into the ground properly. I usually run a chisel plow with only two shanks, wait for a rain, and then follow with my Reddick plastic lifter in the furrows made by the chisel plow.

How far does the bio break down and how long does it take? We have been experimenting with some in our berries. Held up pretty well for close to a year above the ground. Disked some in about 3 months ago but still have plenty of pieces left. Does it completely go away or just break down to a bunch of little pieces?

This is our first year we have some that was laid in February and March still looks good. We got some that we got the drip tape up and disked it, but it’s real dry here but we relayed some top of it for strawberries for next year. Lotta little pieces, but I think we eventually go away pretty fast.

@@merrittfarms6246 it is!

@@CherryHillFarm well … wish me luck because there’s only 2 of us and a trailer with skids (just like your set-up), so here we go!!

@@CherryHillFarm I need to find a good way to get my own plugs. Never been real successful at using daughter plants

@@jarradcollins1360 you can, a lot of people do, eventually you're going to end up with phytothera, it's kind of inevitable. But you could have that problem in a field that's never had pumpkins in it... In a perfect world you only want to plant pumpkins every 4 years on one field but that's not the case for most of us.

Thank you!

It is a very dangerous spray if you have any tomatoes or similar crops anywhere in the vicinity. Vapor drift can hurt them as well. We used some on berries this year and ran out of time to clean sprayer right away but even with water in it overnight it settled and stuck to the tank. Had a nightmare of a job cleaning it well enough for other crops.

@@thetinbarnfarm usually the things we spray for other things (like inspire super) keep it at bay. But one of the Lunas (can't remember which one) does an excellent job on it.

@@Rwargrumble yes

@@CherryHillFarm you mentioned basically in Wilmington and cut offs, we just went there last Monday and picked up ours. We decided not to plant plugs this year and risk bringing neop or anything by else in when we don’t have it. Ended up with cut offs of medallion, and we have never grown it before. Been planting mostly ruby june since we got back into strawberries a couple years ago. Upstate SC here

​@Rwargrumble they have been spreading neop the past 3 years just never told anyone i think and alot of guys didn't know what it was or how to control it until the plants were dead in the trays . we just kept ordering plugs from the same producer in NC and we're really happy with them this year. The 2 years prior the plants horrible no roots some trays half dead from neop but this year they were about as good as they used to be. I think you'd have to plants bare root plants first week of September for them to produce like plug plants that you plant last week of Sept or first week of Oct We have tried California cut offs the first week of Oct and just wasn't worth it compared to plugs unless you could get them earlier.

@ yeah we have noticed the neo p basically being the major problem since we got back into strawberries. Wife’s grandad did strawberries for 20 years back in the 80’s and 90’s and was still doing matted rows and all. So learning a lot with the plasticulture set ups that are used nowadays. We didn’t get any plugs this year cause the neo p but we are trying the cut offs and just cut back the size of our patch to about 13k plants to see how they do. A variety called medallion was all we could get by the time we were told how bad the losses were by the guy we get plugs from.

Really curious to see how the different row spacing works out. Prior to seeing this video we tried turning bare root cutoffs of a late variety into plug plants so we could use our water wheel. They took off really quickly in the flats. The problem we ran into though was the drought preventing from planting on time and then testing at Purdue and OSU for neo p. Getting mixed results so we are going to overwinter covered in flats as they have went dormant. Then if healthy we are going to try to plant on opposite part of farm as early as possible (bare root time frame) in the spring and see what happens. Always something new it seems. Fronteras is a good berry, have grown it a few years now and been happy with it. Did want to ask about your cover in the middles, seeding rate timing and how to seed it. Thanks
