Vertical cultivation of strawberries. Possibilities of this method

vertical strawberry growing

Today, many gardeners and summer residents grow strawberries on their own plots. The only pity is that its fruiting period is too short. But now a method has emerged that allows you to obtain fragrant fruits almost all year round. You just need to use vertical growing of strawberries, which is not difficult to master if you wish.

In order for this crop to bear fruit successfully, it is necessary to artificially create acceptable conditions for it. Any heated and electricity-supplied room provides such conditions initially.

In particular, strawberries like temperatures close to room temperature, which is available in most apartments all year round.

The room where vertical strawberry growing can be used must have good ventilation. Normal air circulation is regulated by closing or opening a vent or window.

Unlike the usual strawberries in garden beds, in apartment conditions the plants are planted in plastic bags with a special substrate made from inexpensive materials purchased at a gardening store.

In each bag, which is installed vertically, you need to make holes where you can plant the seedlings. The simplest shelving, which you can make with your own hands, will allow you to build two or three tiers, rationally using the available space.In addition, this method of growing strawberries is good because rot or unwanted diseases will not appear on the strawberries due to their lack of contact with the soil.

Using vertical strawberry cultivation, you can get up to five harvests a year, enjoying fresh strawberries not only in summer, but also in early spring, late autumn, and even in severe frost.
