I tested planting strawberries in both sizes of Greenstalk Vertical Planters

[@PorchGardeningWithPassion]

The heat stopped my harvest in the middle of the year. Here we are in November in NW Washington and I have some big ones ready to go if it wasn’t for the mold due to excessive moisture.

I live in zone 5 (Central Indiana) and my strawberries have made it through 4 winters in a shallow stock tank. It's about 12 inches tall. We've never had a problem with our strawberries overwintering in the ground, raised beds, or pots.

Just came across this channel and it's the best gardening channel.

I allowed runners in mine and planted in other pockets. Worked great. Must fertilize by weekly to get a good harvest. Planted seascape strawberries, very yummy and basil to ward off pests.

I love my GreenStalk.❤ I’m going to grow strawberries this year in Florida, zone 10a. Thank you for your information. 🍓💚

My best use of the greenstalk is flowers. I call it a flower tower!

[@saltycat662]

I bet it looks beautiful!

This was refreshingly honest and unbias. Thank you for that.

[@saltycat662]

I have my strawberries in the Mr Stacky towers and the birds and squirrels ate them all last year. So I have to keep them netted. I put cherry tomatoes, peppers and bush beans in some of my Greenstalks. Vertical planters are the way to go if you have only a patio like me.

Great comparison! Thank you.

[@ejack4961]

I’ll be doing my comparison using the original green stalk planter one in a June bearing variety, one in an everbearing variety. Will see what heppens

[@DjChelan]

Thank you for sharing your results! Really helps me! Now just need to find Ozark!

I have two leaf green stalks and really want to grow strawberries in them next year

[@GardeningintheNorth]

Great video! I bought 2 of the regular greenstalks and can’t wait to plant in them. 😊

[@albertnett7864]

Great video

[@Grateful_Grannie]

Thx for update. I’m feeling like Greenstalk may be better for me with rotating, seasonal crops… greens and seasonal herbs. Leaning towards a permanent strawberry bed, especially for overwintering. We are listed as zone 5b, but temps drop to minus 30 a few days each winter, (not ver 5b of them!). I feel like a raised bed might overwinter more successfully. If I had a garage to pull planter into, that would definitely be a different story. I appreciate the update. 👍

[@lilycardoso4679]

I'm having a problem with low nutrients in my green stalk. Strawberry plants are turning yellow. But it's probably because I'm watering daily. How often do you fertilize your green stalks?

[@اميرناظم-ك4ظ]

Nice ❤

[@stephaniegee227]

We have a leaf. On purpose. But I’m short. I need a shorter tower.

[@rhondabaker3143]

Thank you for a great video! Your plants look great in the green stalk. We have two and haven't good luck with any plants. I have followed the company's instructions exactly?? Not sure what the problem is.

[@adamschoesler4448]

my first year with strawberries in a greenstalk. Lower volumes yes. My other thought is what to do with runners, which I usually don't want to chop off and throw away. I let them get long enough and "feed" the line into another pocket. I tried cutting and planting the crown, but that is before roots develop and they die. So i stopped that process.

Using city or well water do you test it for the use in your garden.

[@JoeMotionVideos82]

I love your show. I recently subbed. I live in Az, and we have a lot of alkali in our soil. Do you have any tips for a new gardener?

[@thebeginnersgarden]

My soil is acidic so I have the opposite problem. The way I deal with the extreme is to test the soil regularly and add lime and wood ashes. For alkaline soil though I believe the remedy is sulfur. A good soil test will give you application instructions.

You would probably also find Growing in the Garden helpful as Angela is in Mesa.

@@thebeginnersgarden Thank you very much. I will give this a try.

[@kimross9381]

I’ve tried two rounds of strawberries in one of these planters and they keep trying to die. 😢

Try not to cover the crown.
