  • What should I grow Strawberries in?

    I'm thinking of buying these, what would I plant them in? Just a big pot? I've seen special "strawberry pots" are these necesaary?
    Consider the daffodil. And while you're doing that, I'll be over
    here, looking through your stuff.

    I don't like strawberry pots, the watering is very erratic.

    A normal trough is best, if you don't have any actual ground (which is best of all)

      I was thinking of getting these to, and I found these in my shed - would they be any good?

          Growbags are good and inexpensive.

              I would disagree on both counts. They are too shallow and dry out too quickly.
              Also, price per volume, multi-purpose compost is cheaper than grow bags.
