Types of Strawberry Planters

There are a variety of ways to grow strawberries without a garden bed. You can use a container to grow them, and it's particularly easy to grow them in a self watering container like the Earth Box system, but even that requires some floor space that may not be available if you want to grow plants on the balcony or patio.

There are several types of hanging planters that can be used to grow strawberries. You can find pots that only have room for a couple of plants like the Buzzy Planter. One popular grow kit includes not only the planter but the strawberry plants to get you going right away.

Types of strawberries - Since a container won't allow the normal style of growing strawberries, where the runners are encourage to grow and root to start new plants every year, it would be best to grow one of the Everbearing variety of strawberries, as opposed to Junebearing strawberries as these don't try to put out as many runners. And you should prune off the runners that are sent out, which will encourage the plants to produce more berries.

Upside Down Strawberry Planter

Originally known as the Topsy Turvy Strawberry planter, it has been renamed since the inventors at Felknor Ventures have sold the marketing rights of this planter to another company.

This hanging planter allows you to plant up to 15 individual plants. It hangs in a fashion similar to the original Topsy Turvey Tomato Planter, but has the plants actually embedded in the side of the planter, so the strawberries are not actually upside down, but hanging sidewards, with the new growth hanging down.

This is a great solution for growing plants on the balcony, but as with most of these hanging planters, but especially for this with a lot of plants, these need to be hung from a strong support of some sort, as they get to weighing a lot with all the soil and especially water once they growth gets under way.

Any of these make a great solution to growing strawberries in your balcony or patio. And once you've tasted fresh strawberries from your garden, you'll wonder why you didn't try it before.
