I want to build a rock wall and plant my strawberries in the cracks in the wall.?
Posted by pano | Under Herb Garden Friday Aug 20, 2010Will this work and what do I have to do to make it work. I have a small front and back yard that a lot of is shaded so I need to utilize all the sunny areas that I can. It’s going to be filled with soil in between the front and back so I can plant an herb garden in between on the top.
I’ve never had much luck planting strawberries in pots or in crevices. The berry production is severely limited, and in my opinion, not worth the money paying for plants for the 2 or 3 berries each plant gets in a pot or wall crevice.
Strawberrys like an exposed crown – not covered with dirt, and they like poor sandy soil. But hey, give it a shot. Maybe you’ll have some luck. Let me know if you do!
