Strawberry Stand
« on: July 28, 2015, 12:46 »
Like the idea of the Strawberry stand John, will get set up for that next year, looks like it can be made slug proof and easy to net against birds, maybe I would make bottom shelf a little higher. Thanks for the idea.
I suppose when strawberries have finished, it would be good for decorative plants, and could be used into winter, being covered against cold nights? second thoughts I think I'll get on with it now  :)

If it helps, I'm going to make one that looks like one of those tables with attached benches on each side because, due to a delay, my strawbs are still in pots and, apart from a good cropping, they have not had any snail, slug or bird damage. I'm going to pot them on into some long and deep flower troughs and stand them on top. I've seen pics of these which is where I got my idea from and also have a large pallet for the wood.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Funnily enough, I was watching 2 vids on youtube this morning about strawb towers made from plastic bottle crates, easy to line and stack and no rotting wood etc, another idea which would work is to stand the tower in a water bath to keep the molluscs out Dave
