Strawberries

Strawberry plants have shallow root systems allowing you to
plant several plants in this Strawberry Pot

  Strawberries are a very easy to grow fruit that will produce year after year. You can plant thing in beds or rows but they grow easily in containers and "Strawberry Pots" like the one I chose to use can hold several plants.

 For your strawberry pot you'll need the following things.    

• Terracotta Strawberry Pot
• Strawberry Plants
• 1" Diameter PVC long enough to reach from the rim of the pot to the lower most pocket (the holes on the side of the pot)
• Potting Mix
• Plant Food (optional)

  A section of 1" PVC with holes drilled along the side and just long enough to reach from the rim of the pot past the lower most "pocket" will allow the water to reach all levels of your pot more easily.

  Add soil up to the lower most "pocket". Place your first plants in the bottom pockets and then place the PVC section just off-center of the drain hole.





  Continue adding your soil mix and plants. When you reach the top you can place a couple of plants in the center too. Water well and place in a sunny spot and you'll have sweet ripe strawberries in little over a month.
