WOW Mr Green Thumb are you the saint of growth? I took your amazing advice about strawberries and I can't believe the rate of success I have had!!! I started with only one little half strawberry I got from a fruit salad at work, and it has multiplied into fruit bearing plants in a matter of months! I can't believe I never heard this amazing advice before, and I will be sure to forward this video to everyone I know! I do believe this is truly a breakthrough... thank you... thank you...thanku.

I have to agree that this video was a waste of a minute & ten. It seems like most videos from expertvillage and ehow are exactly like this. If I want to watch something that gives me little relevant information, I'll turn on the local news.

You have told me nothing useful.

-
Do they need water? Gee. . .it seems like that would be something Stan would want to mention. What a waste of a video
-
That is not true, the fruit comes out of flower no matter what, but the seeds it has on (little dots) will grow into new strawberries only if the flowers were pollinated before (dont know if this goes for each fruit or the whole plant).
-
Any standard fertilizer will do. just make sure it's for fruiting plants and that the P value is higher than the N value.
-
If you want more strawberries, replant the runners in the ground once it has establish 3 to 4 leaves pinch them off from the mother plant. Runners is also an indication of alot of nitrogen in your soil which calls for green growth rather than flower and fruit. Add some fertilizer that is high in P rather than N (look on your fertilizer bag) Also, pinch off some of the runners while they are young, this gives more energy for other growth for the mother plant than the daughter plants.
-
Sometimes if you have too many it will stunt the growth of others. Pick off some of the smaller plants and either plant them else where or give them to friends worst come to worst throw them out but let them dry out before you toss them. Add a bit of phosphorus high fertilizer to stimulate flower and fruit production as it sounds like you may have more nitrogen, which encourages leaf growth rather than fruit growth.
