strwberry tower?
 
Hi,
Has anyone had experience with a strawberry tower? I found one in a
catalogue that is made of coated wire and cocomatting with holes for
planting 25 strawberries upright. I've no room for a strawberry patch but
this looked interesting to me.
Thanks,

Jane

Strawberry towers are great in a small garden but be careful on the choice
of plants water well and often feed every two weeks with a liquid feed low
nitrogen

Has anybody tried the growing bags? Parks has a special for $9.99, two growing
bags and 25 plants.
Thought I might hang them on our fence.

I was wondering too. Sounds like a good idea. I have plenty of room but lots of
pests too so I thought it'd be easier to grow them from the bag.

One caution that's been heard here lately is that they don't overwinter. So
you're always dealing with first year berries. So no junebearers. I
suppose you could find a way to lay them flat in the fall and put straw
over, but I'm not sure.
