Need Strawberry growing barrel bucket instructions?

I saw someone with a large (garbage can size) plastic barrel with holes in the sides (where the strawberry plants grow). Then they put a PVC type pipe with holes in the middle for proper drainage. The dirt goes around the middle pipe.

Does anyone have these instructions - is there anymore I need to know to grow wonderful strawberries?

The site Joyce S recommends is great to review- for example deciding what type of strawberry plants to buy.



Another helpful site to review is an article written by John Vivian in Mother Earth News (see link below)



I will be modifying these instructions with information from the Virginia Cooperative Extension site (see link below) regarding hole spacing. In addition I will be putting drip irrigation line up through the middle pipe but I still have to figure out emitter locations and spacing within the drum.

Reply:The key to plump juicy strawberries is water! I think the PVC type pipe in the middle is for watering purposes. We have a similar strawberry pot and it works great. Other than that I think all you need to do is keep an eye out for pests and birds.



Birds get most of ours :-D
