Is there a way to clean raspberries or blackberries that will make it okay to eat

Shaina Freedman

Hi, I heard that you can just pour salt over a bowl of strawberry’s with water in this video they say with viniger. Do you think that only using salt is ok?

does it matter if you see bugs or not when you inspect the strawberries in the beginning?

Remove any bugs you see - a toothpick is helpful for this.

In short, hydroponic does NOT equal bug-free.

When you said to inspect the strawberries under a strong light does that mean you need special equipment? Sun? Or just the regular house light?

Hi Lea, you'll need a regular good light. No equipment needed.
