If subtle garden design is more up your street, why not try a raised strawberry bed? These are extremely practical and easy to make yourself, just requiring four bits of timber screwed together!

It will discourage big and small birds from feeding on the plants and fruit itself which can be a huge problem for strawberry growers.

You’ll just need some PVC pipe, a potting jar, soil, strawberry plants, and a marker. Using a drill, drill bit, and hand saw, your project is as good as done! Drill holes into the PVC pipe and place it vertically in the center of your jar. Ideally, with an extra set of hands, start filling the pot with potting soil while keeping the pipe centered. Make sure no soil goes into the pipe during the process or you’ll clog up your irrigation system! As you fill the jar with soil and reach each level of gaps, add your strawberry plants ensuring the foliage gets through the hole. a b Sagers, Larry A. (15 April 1992).

Cultivation follows one of two general models—annual plasticulture, [39] or a perennial system of matted rows or mounds. [40] Greenhouses produce a small amount of strawberries during the off season. [41] Space-efficient tiered design minimises footprint and maximises planting capacity of these large strawberry planters In 2021, world production of strawberries was 9.2million tonnes, led by China with 37% of the total and the United States and Turkey as other significant producers (table).

Once you feel the planter is complete, I recommend painting this non-toxic wood preserver on both the inside and exterior of the planter. It can extend the life of the planter for many years and will not contaminate your soil or food. You may also want to consider using this non-toxic silicone sealant to seal any joints or crevices in the planter. Those are the areas where rot begins and the sealant helps keep these areas safe.

This design of this strawberry container is an excellent choice if you’re going to grow strawberries for a long time. It’s quite specific, although you should grow tumbling tomatoes or some herbs in here if you (horrors) get fed up with strawberries. That would be the only downside that I can see with this, is that it’s really quite a specific type of container. It’s another design that looks fabulous when the strawberry plant is either in flower or fruiting. Terracotta Strawberry Pots Pros and Cons a b c d e f g h i Dana Goodyear (14 August 2017).
