Can strawberries be grown in containers? I have been given 6 plants and wondered if they have to be planted in the ground... I have limited space and all of it is allocated to other produce.
Thanks
Thanks

Yes you can. It protects them somewhat from slugs too, but watch they don't dry out. Ordinary multi-purpose compost is fine.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb. -
I grow all mine in containers and they're fine, just make sure that you feed and water plenty.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

I have about 8 plants in one of those herb pots and had a great crop last year and have 2 troughs of them too and again the crop was good as the palnts were small. The good thign is you can move them about if you need to and easier to control pests and easy to cover with netting.
