I put my runners inside a sandwich bag with about 3/4 cup moist potting soil. Close around the top with a loose twist tie. In about 2-3 weeks there are baby roots and can be moved to their permanent location.

[@shirleyk623]

@Victoria L G. I'm going to try your suggestion. I've been trying to figure out how to get my many baby runners to root. I hope I'm as fortunate as you are. Thanks 😊

Could you do a video that talks about fertilizing of plants. Newbies do not know how often or even what to use on each plant. You have hit on it lightly for garden beds, but can you talk more about container gardening.

[@Cordelia0704p]

I'm in north jersey zone 7. I do the same thing with my strawberries every year except I unfold paperclips and use them to pin the plants until they are well rooted, then once they are rooted I remove the pins and cut them free from the mother plant. I have two hanging planters on my front porch with strawberries in them. I leave them on my porch all winter instead of hanging because it gets lots of sun so those don't generally freeze much. They are always the first ones to come back to life in the spring.

[@Earthy-Artist]

Great video as always! Completely unrelated question for this video, but on your last Friday ramblings... we had the largest harvest of white grapes ever in CO. I couldn’t figure out what do do with them until someone mentioned raisins and you can also use muscadines. Not sure if the harvest of muscadines was as prolific but using a dehydrator to create raisins was a great way to preserve for the winter months. Wanted to know if you’ve tried that yet. And much empathy to you and other gardeners for the burnout... I didn’t mean to add another laborious preserving suggestion to your already vast wrokload 😀
