The best strawberries you’ll ever taste will have to come from your own garden because fully ripened, home-grown strawberries have a rich, aromatic flavor unmatched by anything you can buy in the supermarket.
When stacked, the Tower allows 28 strawberry plants to grow vertically in an ideal environment.
Strawberries are easy to grow, but can take up a lot of room when planted in a traditional “strawberry patch”. You need to give strawberries room for runners by planting them 18 inches apart. That entails a considerable amount of space if you intend to grow even just a handful of plants.
This project will give you homegrown strawberries while taking up only a fraction of the space of a typical garden. A pyramid planter is an ideal way of growing a great quantity of garden produce in a limited garden space.
They’re easy and inexpensive to build, especially when made from leftover timber from your previous projects. This project should only take you a weekend to finish, as long as you have all the materials and tools needed.
