Grow Strawberries in Vertical Containers 🍓(FULL GROW GUIDE)

"I don't know anyone who doesn't like them" Meanwhile my friend is deathly allergic 😂 although to be fair, that doesn't mean she doesn't like them, it just means she likes life more.

I have two green stalks full of 🍓. If you let the runners continue to grow, they will form roots on the ends. Then you can clip it and plant it directly into another pocket or, keep the runner connected to the mother plant and plant the rooted end in a nearby pocket. Once it's rooted in and growing well, you can then clip the stem off from the motherplant. 😊

I’d like to see a solar powered tower turner, something that does 1 spin an hour or so.

I prefer everbearing. I eat them while gardening each morning. Love my tower.

Nice! I have strawberries growing on my towers too! My fiancée designed and put together this thing that continuously rotates my towers slowly throughout the day that's solar powered and I absolutely love it!

Growing strawberries might be easy in California BUT here on the east coast EVERYONE likes a strawberry. Bugs love them. Birds love them. Squirrels love them. Every animal that walks by loves them. Live in a neighborhood? The local kids will finish off any that the local fauna missed.

To anyone wanting to root runners, I find adding soil to the cardboard tray cases of wet cat food come in, and then using little pieces of floral wire like landscape staples to keep them in place works pretty well. Couple weeks to root, then you can move the box anywhere you would want to sheet mulch. Instant squarish foot of garden space. But don't leave them much longer or you will have to slide another box under.

I got a tower with all salad essentials.

You can look up varieties that do well in your state and they will take into consideration how cold it gets. There's a website that takes the data from the local university extension information for the state. It's a good place to start. I have my greenstalks on my patio so when it gets super cold, I bring them right next to the house to stay warm. My strawberries survived the -11F winter a couple years ago which was very much not characteristic of the area. They were the only thing that survived that year in the garden because I moved the containers next to the house. Even my kale died that year. It was that cold for almost a week.

For anyone really interested in HIGHLY recommend getting everbearing strawberries I get 3-5 harvests a year from mine every summer/fall time. They just keep producing until they can’t because of weather
