Questions & Answers
You might want to add an amendment to your soil to help with aeration and water retention, depending on your soil. If your soil is dense, adding air space can help your plants thrive. Consider using coir as a soil amendment to aid in aeration and water retention. Best wishes for the rest of the year!
You can plant multiple roots per pot depending on its size. Our 1m grow bags, for instance, have a 5-plant capacity. Each bag holds six plants. When you're ready to harvest, send us some photos! Best of luck and Happy Growing! Products created by Enroot
Plants should be kept in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator. Until the pots arrive, this will keep the plants dormant and fresh.
There are many more years of bountiful crops to come from these old roots. If you live in a northern state, please make sure your pets are ready for the winter. Mulching is required in most northern states during the winter to protect the crowns from the elements. Temperature fluctuations are mitigated by a thick layer of mulch. After the plants have begun to go dormant, or after 6 weeks, apply at least 4" of salt hay or straw. There have been ten hard frosts in the last ten years. br>In the early spring, before new growth begins, remove the mulch. To keep weeds at bay and mud from splashing on the fruit, move the mulch to the aisles. If cold weather is predicted, you should cover the plants with straw once more. In the spring, a frost blanket or row cover may be useful. By the time the plants start blooming, they must be removed. I hope this has been of assistance.

The plants didn't sprout well or at all because the first package arrived later than expected due to the carrier. After reading other reviews and contacting the seller, they promptly sent a second package, which arrived on time and in good condition.
Evie- 2s are notoriously difficult to come by, but these were reasonably priced and arrived in good condition. I would buy strawberry plants from this seller again based on my previous experience.
I chose the original Evie berries by chance when I planted my first strawberry patch 25 years ago. They gave us big, tasty berries to eat. When I decided to start gardening again this spring, the Evies were sold out, so I went with Quinault, which I am not pleased with because the berries are small and not very sweet. Nothing else seemed to come close to the Evies in terms of popularity. br>br>I came across these Evie2 plants at the most inconvenient of times: we are experiencing the hottest weather and worst drought in over a century. To make matters worse, I discovered them in late July, which isn't exactly the best time in the northern hemisphere to start bare root berries. Despite this, I ordered a package of 22 bare roots due to FOMO (fear of missing out). I was given a generous 24 by the seller. My goal was to grow enough plants that would survive the winter and produce runners to help me fill in the gaps. I have 18 survivors after two weeks, with a few of them already blooming! They're growing quickly, and I expect to have more Evies than I had hoped for next spring. The Quinaults will be replaced if this is the case. br>br>I'm hoping that the Evie2s are as good as the original Evies. Even better, according to the seller, and I have no reason to believe him at this point. I can't wait to eat Evie's berries once more.
Albion and Evie are both discussed in this review. 2 varieties from a "hand picked nursery" that were ordered. Both varieties had a varied spectrum of crown/ root size. 40% runts the size of candy corn, 55% "average" crowns, 5% were huge honkers, 5% were huge honkers, Many of the plants had already begun to grow, but they were mummified or severely wilted, and the others were only root and crown. The roots were a mix of half-and-half varieties. Browns that look good, as well as some brown/blacks. Two extra surplus plants were included in every order. So I purchased these plants to grow in hydroponic NFT channels over the winter. Roots were thoroughly rinsed prior to planting in order to remove as much dirt as possible. Half of the roots were planted in pool noodles [crown on top, roots below]. The remaining half was placed in 3" netcups lined with rockwool, with a synthetic wick in contact with the roots and claypebble as a filler. I tried floating plants in an aerated tank at first, but they didn't do well, and mold appeared within a day. I rinsed the plants once more before moving on to the NFT channels, which I flooded because of the varying root depths. Two gallons per minute were delivered to each channel. I used a 4-potency half-strength blend. Fertilizer No. 38 A 12 watt air pump/stone AND a 1100gph pump with a venturi feeding output AND reservoir [plus significant return falls] were used to aerate the reservoir. 2 weeks ago, I increased my fertilizer dosage to full. Ph is 6. 2, all nutrients are/were in the acceptable range. br>br>Within an hour of delivery, the plants were wet. br>br>Mold was getting so bad even with washing plants off every 2 days [some mold with a dirt transplant is normal, but these plants were dead and rotting], I had to toss the majority, tossed in batches as some showed more hope than others [not much], did my final toss today, was getting odors from plant mold and flies I believe there are a total of 47 plants? I have 12 plants left, all of which started with completely dead roots and are thriving [all from 0 leaves]. Two of the plants have only recently begun to produce leaves after three days; their roots are still struggling, but they are improving. Four plants have already produced runners, which I will root as soon as possible. br>br>I'm growing lettuces, herbs, tomatoes, eggplant, zucchinis, cucumbers, spaghetti squash, peppers, garlic, melons, a fig tree, and a bunch of other stuff on this same setup with no problems; I doctored them as much as I could, but I think I got a bad batch evidence of the 12 that did eventually grow. Pictures are included. br>br> Plants are classified according to their type. There were no dead bodies snapped. os, I tried for a month to get them back but couldn't. Albion blue/leftbr>Evie purple/rightbr>br>br>Overall, I'd say these are probably better than a $5 pack from a store. br>Perhaps someone else will have better luck with these than I did; hopefully I just got bad batches.
When they arrived, they were well-packed, damp, and in good condition. On the same day, I planted them. It's April, and they're quite large plants. Hopefully, by June, we'll have some fruit. Thanks!.
They did a fantastic job. I planted a total of 26 roots, 22 of which have sprouted and are blooming. I tried to upload a photo but the app wouldn't let me. The plants are flourishing.
So far, everything is going well, and they're all settling in well. The Albion and Evie2 plants are highly recommended because they grow quickly and are extremely healthy. The seller was extremely responsive to my questions and extremely pleasant. I'll return later to show you some samples of fruits. Thank you once more.
So far, I'm very pleased with these bare root strawberries; it's only been two days since I planted them, and they've already sprouted leaves. It was my first time planting with bare roots, and I found the process to be simple. Before you plant them, make sure they've been soaked.
