The advantages of our planting ideas for strawberries
If you don't have space in the garden or on the balcony, you can try growing strawberries vertically. Pyramids, towers and tubes with strawberries take up very little space and fit easily on any small balcony or terrace.
Another advantage of growing strawberries in a pot or some type of raised bed is that the ripening fruit is out of contact with the ground and is therefore protected from dirt, rot, disease and slugs. You can also give your plants exactly the conditions they love, for example by placing the planter or raised bed in the sunniest location to promote ideal growth.
