Vertical planting of strawberries - a beautiful and practical solution

Many owners of summer cottages are faced with the acute issue of efficient use of space. There are so many things I want to plant! It is for the purpose of such optimization that vertical cultivation of individual crops is practiced.

Vertical planting of strawberries, is mainly used in such cases:

• for growing hanging plants;
• in order to save territory;
• aesthetic considerations.

For hanging (climbing) strawberries, vertical wood supports are often used. The berry is planted next to it and the strawberry, sending out tendrils, clings to the trellis itself. Vertical planting for strawberries is very common. pyramid shaped. This design is very easy to make from used car tires.

To build a “pyramid” you need to select tires of different sizes. Make holes in them with a diameter of 10 - 15 cm. Then make a simple slide out of tires, starting with the largest one. Fill the tires themselves with soil.

The strawberry mixture must be prepared in advance. To do this, take two parts of ordinary garden soil, part peat and part sand. Then add organic fertilizer (but not fresh manure, humus is better) and mix thoroughly. to obtain a homogeneous mixture.

Strawberry bushes are planted in the holes. Caring for strawberries in vertical planting consists of watering, fertilizing, or, more simply, liquid fertilizers. Rubber tires provide additional heating of the soil, so in this design the berry bears fruit longer (if it is a remontant variety). In addition, strawberry designs will brighten up any garden.
