3 INGREDIENTS for the BEST STRAWBERRIES - the Definitive Organic Fertilizing Guide

[@MelyndaVang2023]

I think I will just call you the Strawberry Queen. After I saw two of your videos about strawberries, I am going to definitely plant an entire bed of strawberries. Thank you so much for your knowledge and beautifully made videos. I can tell just by the tone of your voice how passionate you are and how serious you are about planting and caring for the strawberries. I am so glad I ran into your video! You earned my subscription.

What a sweet comment! Thank you for subscribing too! I wish you luck on your strawberry journey!

Your strawberry look great and the fruits are amazing. Thanks for sharing

[@dustyflats3832]

I did fertilize in early spring with Espoma for acid loving plants and they look the best they ever have. When you have a hot sandy area they need that leaf cover and the blossoms are many. Keep even moisture while berries are producing, but not saturated as the flavor will be poor as with any garden plants except maybe celery as it’s a bog plant.

how do you test your soil? 🤔 Thank you from Maine! 🌲 I'm on year two with my strawbs. 😊🍓🍓

[@OurSanctuaryGarden]

Go to my channel and find the video on testing soil pH. You can use RapiTest at home soil tests to get a general idea of soil NPK nutrients or you can send soil samples to a lab like RX soil

[@bcleeanderson]

Beware of the channel that pushes a lot of products but has no strawberries to show for. I have not seen any strawberry on the strawberry bed!

[@vellabella3941]

They're... they're right there, in the video... what do you even mean???

[@bcleeanderson]

@@vellabella3941 At 3:10, she said " my strawberry bed is really overdue for renovation and didn't look that great". Do you see any strawberry in the bed? If not, all the strawberries she was holding in her hands are not from the bed. We need to have critical eyes and thinking skill to know which gardening channel is real. At 8:10 again, it looks to me that there's no strawberries from her bed.

@@bcleeanderson At 3:20 she shows her garden bed from another video, I believe.

You are totally correct! This felt like a commercial.

What is the difference between the worm castings and worm casting tea? And did you mention another worm casting supplement? Can you just use the worm castings and the Neptune fertilizer? We are getting ready to plant strawberries for the first time, I'm excited! We got two types of plants, a June bearing called All-star and an everbearing called Ever sweet. We're trying to decide how to plant them, whether in some type of raised beds or just mounds or hills and mulch them. I have a question about that. Is there a reason why you don't plant them on mounds or hills like a lot of people do? Just trying to weigh the pros and cons of all the ways to plant. Also, thank you so much for all your informative videos and tips! This is the 3rd strawberry video of yours I've watched, and have now subscribed. 😊

[@OurSanctuaryGarden]

Hey there! Thanks for subscribing! The worm castings and worm castings tea are pretty much the same just different application types. The other product is vitality (only at Vermisterra) that is super concentrated and is best for things that need an extra dose of nutrition. I use it sparingly. Both methods for planting strawberries work. In a raised bed, the way I laid them out is easiest. Hope this helps! Happy gardening!

hi i love to plant strawberry here in the Philippines

[@SupremegreenlawncareLLC]

Thanks for the information!🎉

[@lightscameraalana]

Ok so I wanna use coco coir and Plite so should I mix it with matured compost, berry tone and worm castings

[@nccgolden3626]

Could you share which variety of strawberries you grow? Im in south Florida di now is our growing season for strawberries Tnx for info

[@OurSanctuaryGarden]

Yes! I’m currently only growing Albion (Everbearing). It’s an amazing strawberry. This next year, I have plans to try a new variety

[@CWK1229]

How often should I put King neptune on Alpine strawberries?

[@edengardenlabs7773]

Big suprise she is selling the worm castings lol

[@mikecantin7760]

I’m confused do you foliar feed the Neptune’s harvest or do you water with it? You show clip of putting it in watering can but then said to foliar feed. Thanks

[@OurSanctuaryGarden]

I do both. I foliar feed by watering the leaves with the watering can then I also water at the root zone

[@mikecantin7760]

@@OurSanctuaryGarden thank you

[@doncc6080]

Thanks God bless you also.

[@HealyMeans]

hi sanctuary gardens 🤗 you upload the best strawberry videos. i recently transplanted three 2yr old strawberry plants from a raised bed into a 15gal planter pot. i think theyre doing ok but i want to wait before adding soil treatments (to make sure they really "made it"). i don't have instagram, but i would like to try the worm casting products. ill check your description box for details. tfs

[@OurSanctuaryGarden]

I’m glad you find my videos helpful! 😊 I think you’re fine to wait on adding soil amendments since the potting mix you put them in is fresh. Just remember that potted plants require nutrient applications more frequently due to how fast they drain and leach

[@OurSanctuaryGarden]

I think you’ll really like Vermisterra products! Give them a try and let me know what you think of them!

[@l0tus.Fl0wer]

Just curious, is the neptune's harvest similar to alaska fish fertilizer?

[@OurSanctuaryGarden]

They are both made with fish but they have different nutrient ratios. Alaska is 5-1-1 and Neptunes is 2-3-1. You can certainly try the Alaska one and see how they do

[@stacyclark5910]

Does Neptune’s Harvest have a fishy smell? Thx!😊

[@OurSanctuaryGarden]

Yes, it does have that fishy smell. Same with the worm tea. I don’t mind it too much. 😊

[@stacyclark5910]

@@OurSanctuaryGarden I make my own worm tea, it doesn’t smell unless I don’t use it all right away. I also have Alaska fish emulsion… IT REALLY STINKS!

How to keep slugs out if garden, especially strawberry garden

[@OurSanctuaryGarden]

I have two videos that will be helpful: one on slugs in particular and one on what’s eating strawberries. Head to my channel to find them

[@truthseekerKJV]

Where is the info on how to test the NPK of your soil ?

[@OurSanctuaryGarden]

I should have info in the video description but here’s what you can do: get RapiTest at home soil tests. They have very detailed instructions so I won’t go into details about how to do it but that’s an easy way to know if your deficient in anything. It’s not super accurate but can get you started in the right direction. You can also send soil samples to a lab for more detailed reports. I used RX Soil with good results.

[@jamessteffens8337]

What do I do with runners?

[@sonnyh9774]

leave them if you want more plants and cut them if you want more fruit

[@Michael-s2p3p]

Better than buying worm castings, get into vermiculture and make your own. Easier than growing strawberries!

[@gordonsmith5589]

This was nothing but a commercial. Waste if time.
