Planting Strawberries in My GreenStalk Planter

[@seenikgardens]

How do greenstalks hold up in wind? Has anyone had one tip over?

[@DanlowMusic]

Ive heard they are pretty sturdy unlike the Dollar Tree version I have. It also has alot deeper pockets and more of them then the dollar store version. Lol

[@BritInvLvr]

So far, so good. But it hasn’t met my drunk uncle yet.

[@MorePranaGardens]

We had some 80mph nights (in North Texas, which is wild) and I moved mine under the patio for those nights. It's stood up to 50 and 60 mph just fine.

[@jamiehopkins630]

I've had Greenstalks for several years (the company is local to me so I've used them since before they got big) and none of my 9 towers have ever had an issue with tipping. The sections are pretty heavy when wet so they lock together. I have seen people in areas with crazy winds have occasional issues, but honestly the closest I've ever had was when I almost pushed it over while moving it. If you are careful where you push or pull (ie: not from the upper sections), you will be good.

Congratulations! Glad you got a GreenStalk. This was the best tutorial I have seen so far! Great job and enjoy!

[@NextLevelGardening]

Thanks!

[@ajhertzell]

I’ve had one for a couple years now. FYI, they do not come with the base. That is sold separately as are the wheels. I love my greenstalk (classic size). I’ve grown peppers, squash, flowers and herbs in it. Rachel from That 1870’s Homestead grew decent sized cabbage in hers last year. They really are great for people who have small spaces and want to grow some food.

[@BritInvLvr]

Good to know. I got mine a few weeks ago and so far, it’s great. May buy another next year.

[@jamiehopkins630]

They are also awesome for people like me with back issues... less weeding and very little bending! And they are beautiful if you put flowers in them!

[@Mzpenelopepitstop]

Morning Brian! One of my friends/co-workers asked me what I wanted for my birthday- I said, a purple Lamborghini- she got me a hot wheel- I still have it around here somewhere. Haha! 😁

Oh wow, what an awesome video,great step by step guide! I definitely need to look into getting this!! ❤

[@lifewithmikeandjenn5814]

I have 12 of them, clearly I love them. Great for greens, herbs, strawberries and anything else I can put in them. I got my first ones about five years ago. Definitely recommend to a friend.

[@NextLevelGardening]

Wow!

[@robine916]

Ooooohhh,...how well do they hold up? (I may have to add them to my Christmas list this year! 😁)

[@lifewithmikeandjenn5814]

@@robine916 so far so good. They survived at least 4 years of Southern California sun and this last year in Arkansas. No breaking down of the material or cracking. I do love the plant supports for determinate tomatoes. Also, this year I put “frost bags” that are used for trees to cover them from some cold nights.

[@jamiehopkins630]

As they are local to me and I discovered them at a fair before they grew to being a big thing, I can also attest that they hold up well. I have 9 and you wouldn't be able to tell which are new versus which ones I've had for years.

I love my GreenStalk. I have one row of strawberries and other pockets filled with leaf lettuce, Tiny Tim tomatoes, Thai chili peppers, and herbs in it now. I'll plant flowers when the lettuce is done, and add another row of strawberries next Spring. Have to put them in the upper rows, as my dog love to swipe 🍓. 😄

I got a green stalk recently and I like a lot at the moment. We shall see.

[@GGsGarden]

Have seen a # of green stalk videos. But never 1 this throughly done. Appreciate details on setup & pointing out benefits of soil protection.

[@NextLevelGardening]

Thanks!

[@cziviski1110]

How convenient, I planned to plant strawberries in my Green Stalk this evening, and you happen to put this how-to video this afternoon! Thank you!

[@jaytoney3007]

I have two Greenstalks, one for strawberies, the otherb with peppers and dwarf zinnias. They are a great space saver! The origional tower has thirty pockets with five teiers, th leaf tower has seven tiers with smaller pockets. Both are interchangeable, so you can mix it up.

[@geeyoupee]

I have 5 tiers of the regular size and 1 of the leaf (needed to buy to get the free shipping). My first year, I put the leaf on top but after a while, I realized the leaf dries out faster so this year I put it in the middle.

[@commonsense2462]

You're the first one to show planting before stacking. Everyone else stacks with soil in only. Makes sense to plant then stack.

[@lupekober369]

I believe u r the first person to explain that each plate in the middle has holes, n place them lined up with each pocket. THANK U.

[@missykuss9975]

Just got my first Green Stalk for Mother’s Day. Haven’t planted it yet but I can’t wait.

[@vivkeneally4116]

Planted up my new Greenstalk with 47 bare root strawberries in March. Then San Diego got a full winter's rain in March & early April, which drowned & rotted almost every plant! Had to go back to the nursery for new plants. Even though I already added extra perlite to my promix potting mix, I added even more when replanting, and very slightly widened the drain holes. The new baby plants are enjoying a warm May-grey, and then they will get a warmer June-gloom, plenty of time to establish themselves before the hot months. So sad about the dead bara root plants, though.

[@debbiep7419]

I have a 7 layer leaf greenstalk filled with strawberries that I love. The base is sold separately (as are the wheels for it) but I highly recommend the "Ultimate Spinner Base" (which is what you have). Don't know if I would buy the wheels again but it is nice to have the ability to roll it closer to the house and cover is when we are expecting a frost. I've heard that because of their weight, they stand up OK to wind, but wheels would also give you the option to move it to a more sheltered location if there was a concern. Greenstalks are also great for people with limited growing space. I prefer the Leaf over the Original style as I would never try to grow something large like full sized tomatoes or deep rooted carrots in one. The Leaf is great for strawberries, herbs, and salad greens.

[@ashleyowens1093]

This is the first year that I'm growing things in a Green Stalk. I've got everbearing strawberries, micro tomatoes and cilantro. The strawberries and cilantro are doing great. Jury is still out on the tomatoes - but keep in mind that I'm a newbie gardener! Glad you got one!

[@skylady64ish93]

I have the hardest time with cilantro. Any secrets? What zone are you in?

[@amyparker1762]

For those on the smaller stature side, like me, you might consider putting the first container on the base, fill with soil, plant, water then stack the 2nd container on it. Fill plant and water and repeat. Unlike Brian, this planter is much taller than I am and lifting a full container over my head to secure on the top would be impossible for me 😂. I have two green stalks the same height as Brian’s both loaded with strawberries 🍓. Great product. Great company. Happy gardening ❤

[@OurIntrovertedHomestead]

Instead of throwing the Strawberry runners into the compost, you could root the runners to create new plants! There are never enough strawberries 🍓 😊!!

[@esthersdaughterlong8149]

Interesting. I could use one of those on my patio. Thank you for explaining how to put it together.

[@kathymoore3967]

I ordered 4 green stalks one for my daughter, and Three for me. I have strawberries growing in one now 24 plants the other two will hold herbs in one and lettuces in the other once the weather warms up, hope you enjoy your green stalks as much and I do. Its a great company.

I don't have one, yet, but once I get my more urgent purchases behind me, I might get one one day for strawberries, too.

[@edbobnc]

We very much enjoys your videos,and have gotten a lot of useful info from them over the years. We have a five tier Greenstalk we purchased last year and successfully grew winter greens in it. We purchased a seven tier (shallower pockets) unit this spring and filled with everbearing strawberries gifted us by a friend who was thining her strawberry bed. Have been pleased with it so far. (Getting lots of juicy red strawberries!) One thing you failed to mention in your video that is in the instructions is to keep the top reservoir clean so dirt doesn't clog the tiny drip holes in it and the water pans for the lower levels. (I also noted you were filling yours in the video with a little dirt in it.) Hope you will share that in a future video. Keep the great info coming. Thanks! Ed

If you could do a follow up video about how your strawberries are progressing in your green stock, that would be great 👍😊 also how you are caring for them now that spring is upon us This is year two on mine with strawberries the one thing I’m not sure of if I’m supposed to divide the plant once it gets kind of crowded in the pocket 🤔🤔 So anyway, let us know how it’s going. If you could let me know your opinion on dividing them. Thank you always

[@joshhensley4246]

I'm excited to see how it works out! I have the 7 tier coming next week... will probably try strawberries and lettuce. My mother has 5 tier and things turned out great for her.

[@dross10001]

How much do they run($)?

[@Lynn-kh5rs]

@@dross10001 They can be a little pricey but they do run sales though the year. The best sale is usually around Mother's Day. Before discounts they range in price from $129 - $189. Price depends if it is the original (deep pockets) or leaf style (less deep) and how many tiers (range from 3-7 tiers). The spinner base and wheels are sold separately.

[@xpurg8d]

@@Lynn-kh5rs Thank you so much for saying what the difference is between the original and the leaf versions. I looked at their website and through these comments hoping to find out what people were talking about. It might have been explained on their website and I missed finding it, but I'm grateful you stated it.

[@sabinejones4657]

Have one. Do my lettuces and spinach in it all year. Need to get another to do strawberries next year.

[@axeljohnson4587]

I purchased a 3 level GreenStalk this spring for strawberries and they are really filling in now with fruit and foliage. I ran a 1/4 drip tube up the center into the reservoir and terminated it with an emitter that is adjustable so as to somewhat fill the reservoir on a given cycle for when we are gone for more than a couple of days. It's in full sun all day so it does dry out rapidly. I also fill it with water from the rain barrel from time to time.

[@slomo1716]

Wonderful job explaining how this thing works, I have always wanted one, but now realize there is no way this old weak lady could lift the top two sections into place. You did a wonderful job!!! My strawberries are in a grow pouch with screen to protect from birds. Thank you!!!

[@sandramcqueary7201]

They have a 3 tier one that might work for you.

[@geeyoupee]

I have my greenstalk near my dragon fruit trellis. I put a 1/4 tube and a adjustable sprayer on top of the greenstalk so it can be irrigated when my drip irrigation goes on. It's a bit hard to fine tune the emitter to get the right amount of watering. I get lazy and don't really turn the greenstalk much. This year, I'm planting 1 side with plants that need full sun and the other side that can tolerate shade (lettuce, greens, herbs, etc.). So I'll face the sun loving side towards the sun most of the time. I planted strawberries in the bottom 3 layers so my daughters can pick them. The spinning base makes it easy to spin, it's expensive but probably worth it over the wheels. I initially bought this to plant herbs and put near my backyard door but that area didn't get enough sun so I had to move it out further. I think its a great alternative for people who don't have a lot of space but in ground beds are best due to how forgiving they are and less maintenance. City Pickers and patio pickers are another good alternative that self waters.

[@debbiecurtis4021]

Strawberry are amazing

[@myragooden8667]

Thanks for sharing. I just received mine today(had to purchase my 2) couldn’t afford the spinner or any of the other add on, I pray they work for both of us. I have to purchase soil then I can plant it up.

[@lindysmallwood2039]

I love my Greenstalks. I planted strawberries as well. It’s like a candy store right now. Every day I pick a few strawberries. The lid is very helpful in keeping small particles from plugging the holes. I don’t have the watering system. It just not something I would use at this point. So happy Greenstalk sent you the planter. Blessings ❤️🌺

[@angelaraum1545]

Ive watched others that had done for a few years. They recommend those tiny holes to use a drill to make the hole wider. Ive found wetting the teirs as if you dont the soil level will drop. Also per MI Gardener you should add fertilizer, epsom salt & gypsum & some compost/worm castings to all potting soil, No matter what container you use.

[@joannagel4681]

I absolutely L❤️VE my green stalk. I started out with one that I grew my salsa peppers in,jalapeño , Serrano, garden salsa& various hot peppers. This is my third year growing them in this❣️They do need a dowel or something for support but they do extremely well in this tower. Last year I started a strawberry tower, this year I did one in lettuce & now one in bush string beans❣️ The leaf size is great for lettuce & beans but I recommend the deeper original for peppers & strawberries.

I have 3 greenstalks, and the irrigation systems. It is so easy, I highly recommend it. Mine have had no issue through two windstorms since we have had them. I have one leaf, and two regular.

On the irrigation system; how on earth did you get the collar over the nipple once the nipple was inserted into the tubing? The tolerances are so tight on the one I got that the collar cannot slide up the tube & over the nipple to get tightened.

[@tanasuter5777]

Good one (Lamborghini wishes)!

[@zelavie]

I love my GreenStalk! One note of warning - be careful not to have your soil right up against the watering disks. The tiny holes can get clogged and then that level won't get watered. I was having an issue last year with lower levels not getting water, and when I took it apart that was the issue. As a bonus, I also had a family of frogs living in there!

[@lindag4484]

I love my Greenstalk! Mine is on the 'spinner' base (I didn't use the wheels). When I think about it, I just give it a half turn so all plants get equal sunlight. Currently, mine is in full sun and planted with early spring/cold tolerant varieties of lettuces and spinach. I'm in Zone 5. I'm harvesting from it now. It's easy and the greens stay cleaner than those planted in the ground. Very few pests too!

[@compmom42]

I love my Greenstalks. I've had a Greenstalk full of strawberry plants for a couple of years. What I love about it is it keeps the fruit out of the dirt and I don't clean as much. The strawberries generally never make it in the house as they are my and my corgis gardening snack!! It's been so successful that I'm planning on planting a second Greenstalk full of strawberries. And the strawberry leaves are really good for you too!!! During North Texas' extreme heat last year I had to water not only from the top but each individual pocket almost daily. This year I hope to get a diy drip irrigation system set up for the Greenstalks before the heat hits.

[@debkauzlarich7298]

Just an FYI...make the holes in the trays just a little big larger. You can do it with a drill or just anything that will do it. You don't want them a ton bigger but I've found it does better. And you might want to put something over the very top watering bin. They will get a lot of junk in them and it clogs up the holes. I don't remember what I've seen but I think it's like those hair covers used in the OR.

🌺Aloha Brian, For your top before you water you should put a stopper in the center hole. This will help when filling the water to the exact amount(water line). If there's no stopper water will just go straight down to the bottom. Also, we have trade winds here and the green stalk holds up well. I grow strawberries in my short greenstalk and in my tall one I grow lettuce, romaine, carrots and some flowers. Enjoy your greenstalk and good video on how to put it together.👏

[@KBorham]

We're growing strawberries indoors with LEDS in a popular Subterranean Irrigated Planter (SIP) box. They put out runners like crazy, produced a decent number of berries, but after 8 months (everbearing) they are starting to turn red, then crispy, and die in the SIP box. I think the soil is too wet; next run I will add 30-50% sand to the mix.

[@jayneejohnson3538]

I ordered watering systems for my three GreenStalks (two 5-tier originals and one 7-tier leaf). I just finished setting them up and watering for the first time. I thought I'd share the good, the bad, and the ugly. The good: 1) Easy to set up. 2) Saves watering time if you have a timer and/or multiple GreenStalks. 3) You can continue to use GreenStalk supports, insect covers, and frost covers as usual. 4) If you have a timer, you can go on a trip without asking for favors or losing plants. The bad: If you have different types of GreenStalks hooked together on this system, you'll waste some water. My two originals took about a minute to fill up and the leaf took about two minutes. The originals drained water onto the ground during that second minute. A couple solutions: if you’re there, you can shut off the valve for the full GreenStalks. Otherwise, it might be a good idea to get a longer waste hose and put the end in a nearby planter. The ugly: If you have a spinner base or a normal base with wheels, spinning the GreenStalk becomes very inconvenient. You have to unhook the line from each GreenStalk and move the clips to other pockets (there's one for each tier). This is really my only complaint about the system because I love the convenience of the spinner and there's not a good solution for it.

Thanks, Brian. That was the best tutorial on putting a GreenStalk together that I've seen yet, and I've seen quite a few. You always do such a good job teaching. :)
