Wow I never thought of growing strawberries in pots. I'm going to borrow this idea! Thank You! 😁
BTW I have to ask do you foresee a yard garden anywhere in the future? I ask because I can only imagine how incredible it would be. 🍅🥗🥬🐿

Hi Bethany. I’m so glad I came across your channel. I have a question to ask. I would like to create shading on my garage deck. I purchased a 34” x 34” x 34” container to plant a Redpointe Maple tree. I will be insulating the walls of my fiberglass container with 1” thick foam. My question is what soil do you recommend for the container? I was thinking Espoma’s Organic Raised Bed Mix. Do you recommend I amend the Raised Bed Mix with Growers Secret Pine Soil Conditioner? I can actually use this as a mulch substitute and it will aid in decreasing the pH level as well. This is quite a big container so I intend to plant herbs on the surface of the continent, thus, the reason I’m trying to stick with organic. Thanks for your response.

Do you bring them in for winter or leave outside?

Oh so it only produces 3 times a year and not continually? that's a weird type of strawberry, can you tell me the name? so I can avoid it.
