Strawberries


The end result.

Last season I tried growing strawberries in vertical columns made out of pvc milk bottles, but this wasn't very successful. Not enough soil or space.

This season is more traditional - a few runners planted into tyres along the base of the grape trellis have been doing very well. We've collected a bowl full similar to the above every couple of days for a week or two. The competition is from the thrush.


There's enough space for another row of about 8 to 10 tyres here, but not enough compost.
