We bought loads of them a couple of years ago. They had them for £1 each, or 3 for the price of 2, so if you're going for them it may be worth buying 3 to see whether it's the same this year.
The strawbs aren't terribly happy in them (They dry out very quickly because they're so small and they're hard to water adequately) but they're still alive, so they'd probably be good for someone that doesn't have room for a strawberry bed - maybe by the back door where you could check on the watering often.Last edited by Sylvan; 05-01-2013, 08:59 PM.The problem with rounded personalities is they don't tesselate. -
I bought the four way, which is quite big and deep enough, I would say. Wonder if they are different from
previous years. I don't usually like plastic very much but figured for £2 it was worth a shot.Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better...Albert Einstein

I bought my stackable planters from poundland last year, never did get to use them as the strawberry plants I ordered from T+M were sold out, but I'm looking forward to using them this year though. I've got 16 strawberry plants waiting to be delivered sometime early this year, when they arrive I'll plant up 12 in the three planters I have and I'm not sure whether to buy another one for the 4 spare plants or put all 4 in a large hanging basket?Remember it's just a bad day, not a bad life 😁Comment

We have the three way ones. They're probably not as big. I've never seen the four way ones.The problem with rounded personalities is they don't tesselate.Comment

Neither have I before but I figured they'd come in handy for something somewhereOriginally posted by Sylvan View Post

I bought a couple of 4 way planters with an 8 pack of herbs, thought they would marry quite nicely.....except for the mint....

I picked up a couple as well, along with a small Blueberry plant. Not bad for less than the cost of a pint.Comment
