Sounds like this variety was mad for these hanging containers: http://bit.ly/n3H1K3

I like these... Any feedback from people who did this last year? How did they over-winter? How did they perform this year, etc?

Cheers,

Kosh

Mine were a disaster. Some got too wet and rotted and some were too dry. I got a couple of strawberries but they were very poor quality, woody and not sweet.
The runners were from good plants on the allotment, so it must be the compost at fault..either not enough of it or something about the water absorbent properties of it. I did feed them.

I had one of those strawberry tubs some years ago and that failed too. Perhaps it is my growing technique? I do well with them in the ground.

I agree, but to avoid lots of holes in the side of your shed, erect a trellis sideways maybe? Just a thought

I thought other posters might appreciate me bumping this old thread back up the list for this year. I have set this up this year and it has already been noted by other plot holders who are going to give it a try too!

I hope me bumping this is OK with the mods?
