We English love our strawberries and cream…
Strawberries are incredibly easy to grow and are technically not berries.
The summer is coming and now is the time to plant them! (Yes now!)
Strawberry planters are great for several reasons – fruit is easier to see and pick – a big boon for the aged whom can’t bend down and can be placed in easily accessible level surfaces like patios. They’re great space savers as you’re growing up not down. Once established, they’re quite pretty too with a tumble down effect of fruit pouring down the sides. You can also move them about easily, so if a hard frost is due, you can move them into the greenhouse over the winter season.
In the UK you can buy strawberry planters but most people have a hard time with them because they don’t set them up right to begin with and they’re a real pain to water.
This instructable shows you one of the best ways to setup a strawberry planter to make feeding and watering a doddle!
