Growing strawberries can be done in the city or the country. Its a excellent item to raise for food and also give you a item to trade in hard times. Think of things that will make you a producer of something and also gives you the ability to sell or barter.

  • what are the best vegis/fruits that can grow in small pots?

  • @cibolodave I have never grown anything in small pots other than getting them started so I cant really help you ....sorry. Hopefully someone will know the answer for you.

  • We have wild strawberries in our yard, but they are so small. Do you know if they are edible or worth the time to make space for them? 

  • @MsDKGirl They are not worth the time in my book. But if you find yourself with nothing in a survival situation they are better than nothing.

  • Great video and thank-you for posting and sharing your ideas. The vid had a lot of excellent points but you totally threw me off at the Bunker comment! Wow, I hope it never comes to that situation that's for sure.

  • @Erated78 Yes they can work with you for barriers if you put them the right way. If you put them in the wrong place they can work against you. So do it right from the start. You can use them as barriers if you dont want people to drive thru a area of your property in good times or bad. Always think ahead. This comes from my experience in the army always think security. If you make one mistake it could cost you dearly.

  • Strawberries , leaves and roots, have medicinal value as well. Cheers ;-))

  • Strawberries are nice, I grow em, but I have trouble with blackbirds or other common garden birds stealing them from me.

  • great point you made with raised beds, never really thought about the detail that they can be used for cover. yet another reason why raisedbeds are awsome. thank for sharing!

  • @cibolodave You can grow Bellpeppers, tomatoes, strawberries and more in small pots.

    But it will not survive in pots smaller than 6".

    Tomatoes and strawberries can grow in a pot hanging from the sealing, hanging over the edge of the pot :)

  • @MsDKGirl Wild strawberries are great and are generally hardy in their home range. I've always catered to them, even if there are no aliens or democratic zombies taking over the world.

  • Great thought. Here in pacific northwest the blackberry is considered a weed and was not originally here but seeing how fast they take over u would thing it was indigenous to the region but a great asset really if u have ur own growing wild.

  • I notice a dug out patch behind your raised strawberry bed. Kind of kills two birds with one stone in my book, because I'm also planning to have a small fish pond. So that gives me a great idea of what to do with the dirt.

    Thanks for sharing, let us all share what we know, as I've always believed that education should never have a price tag on it. God bless you!

  • I'd like to learn about farming, but those questions will come when they come. A totally off topic comment here, I just went to pick my teeth and my hands smelled like strawberries, that's so strange. (I havent had strawberries in a long time) :D

  • @SuperRedneck36 yes he was

  • u said wheat right? how do i grow it with limited water and such, or in a bunker?.

    (same gos for seeding them.. so u can always grow more..
