Title: cheap strawberry pots
Post by: Dirty Digger on March 26, 2010, 17:40:02
You know you can buy cheap plastic moulded cuttings trays, individually moulded to contain "X" amount of plants......well, can you buy something similar for strawberries?

I have 100's of strawberry plants I would like to grow individually, so the idea of forking out £'s for individual pots is abhorrent to me but I really want to get them off the ground and out of nibbling range of rodents.

If someone could direct me to an appropriate store, I would be most grateful

Thanks

If your allotment was near me i would PAY YOU to take some.

There are plenty of cheap options the cheapest is to fold back a grow bag and tie it off under the bottom of the bag, fill it with your mix, gather in some slack at the top leaving a hole for watering tie off the slack making a loop for it to be hung up for the birds to get at.
