This REVOLUTIONARY Way Of Growing STRAWBERRIES Will Change Your Life!

This brilliant gardening method doubles the amount of growing space in your yard, but it also benefits the strawberry plants and fruit trees by creating a symbiotic relationship. Because the strawberry roots occupy a different soil layer than the tree roots, they do not directly compete. Instead, the strawberry plants act as living ground cover for the fruit trees, cooling the roots and mulching the area as they shed leaves. The fruit tree canopy benefits the strawberries by providing shade during summer heat. The result is a companion planting relationship that doubles your harvest in the same space!

You have to give the Millennial Gardener 10/10 for enthusiasm... but also chuckle whenever he finds the new "best" way of doing something.
-
You know you are a natural at this. You explain everything and the words roll off your tongue so easy. Thank you for all your videos. Love Dale. Saw his ears perk up when you said "mommy". So cute. Central NC.
-
Silent fan here, you’ve been mentoring me from novice to slightly better novice. Your expertise are appreciated
-
This video clearly took a long time to collect the clips across time, edit and assemble together. Thumbs up for effort and thoroughness. I also have noticed that variety matters, when selecting strawberries. The ones you get in hanging strawberry bowls at the big box stores don't do so well in the ground.
-
“Keep your crowns high…” 🤣 ALWAYS good advice right there! I’ve got “everbearing” and did not care for the flavor — not sweet enough. Loved your visit with James and I decided to also try the strawberries under my fig trees. Thanks!
-
I live in Salisbury NC, and love supporting North Carolina businesses, so I'll definitely be ordering from them from now on!
-
Great info. I didn't understand how to plant bare root strawberries. Now I do thanks to you. Maggie UK
-
Thank you for the tips. I also enjoy James' YouTube channel. The end of this video was too precious!
-
I did see your other video with James. He is certainly a high energy man! New Jersey has a short growing season but he sure maximizes his space and he has a huge harvest!! I am pulling plants as my harvest has been pretty bad…next season I will get more and I thank you for your help!!
-
Always top quality information and application. Thanks for all you do ❤
-
Excellent idea and demonstration. ❤ Dale 😊
-
I've been spreading mine around my fruit trees for a few years working great
-
Oooh I have a new small apple tree and another with a cherry bush in 50 gallon grow bags. I bet i can plant with them. 🤔😁😁😁
-
I ordered from Hand Picked Nursery specifically because of this video. I wanted to try to replicate what you did and the way that you did it. I soaked for three hours, cut the roots to three inches (that was a weird thing for me) and planted 60 bare root strawberries in 4" pots on Wednesday evening of this week. It is now Friday morning and every single one of those plants has started to push new growth. I don't know if it is the nursery, the technique, or what...but this is my new plan every year for new strawberries! GREAT VIDEO!
-
Hand Picked Nursery is great! They have 1 day turnaround almost every time I’ve ordered. I’m about 75 miles down 95 from Benson and have thought about making a morning trip to them but need plenty of room. I’ve bought June bearing and Everbearing from them with great success. I am going to have to replace some plants because we had a stretch of 103-106 air temp days and I couldn’t get enough water on them. Lost 10 plants overnight on night that got to a low of 86! They went from green on a Tuesday afternoon to brown on Wednesday morning. I ordered a shade cloth for them now!
-
Thank you Thank you Thank you! 9b low desert AZ and 95% of my garden is toast! 🥵 Theirs hope!!
-
Another great idea for strawberry lovers.I ve planted my white alpine type strawberry plants near my melon and squash vines and some mid season planted tomato plants. The tomato plants should give my alpine strawberries some nice afternoon shade while the melon plants will help shade the soil near my berries. Have not tried planting them under my newly installed fruit trees but will do so next year after the trees put on some serious growth.Tganks Millenial man for your interesting and helpful gardening videos!
-
I am glad that they are turned out well! I grew up and still live in berry country (Lynden, WA) where I started picking them for money at the age of 7. To be honest, I would have expected far more growth at the two month mark. In comparison, I was picking a decent amount of berries at the two month mark after planting bare root Albions into my dollar store stackers and in my fabric grow bags. I am wondering if the warmer weather, smaller starting roots, or you not using Berry Tone/Worm Casting impacted that. My production last year was horrible as I got used to growing them in fabric grow bags and those two things added in Fall/Spring made a world of difference in last year’s plants, this year. Regardless, I respect and appreciate your effort and enthusiasm in each of your videos to help gardeners find success all around the world 👊🏻🌻👊🏻

I don’t know if this comment just went through, so please forgive me if you’ve already seen this one: First, thank you so much for the amazing content! I’ve gotten so much valuable information and have also referred several of my gardening friends to you 😊 😉. (And I love your adventures with Dale! I look forward to them every video!!) Second thing, since you mentioned this toward the beginning of the video, I was wondering in your experience, when do most stores start putting gardening stuff on clearance for the season?
