Sewer Pipe Strawberries - The Best Place To Grow Them!
Tips, Tricks
We really must put a few more of these pipe planters up, but in the meantime we only have the one. We get plenty of strawberries from it though. The pipe keeps a lot of water in the soil, so they are a really easy to look after and to harvest -- and none are lost to the slugs or the dogs or the sheep or the horses.. The ends are blocked with lumps of wood. The holes were cut with a jigsaw. The runners (the baby strawberry plants) are ones we collected from our outside bed (more on those later in the season). At the end of the fruiting season we take it down and leave it outside the polytunnel door. Easy or what?! Here's how we make the holes.. https://youtu.be/SCcK9vvSEeo Here's our online store where you can see some of the craft things we make and sell.. http://www.wayoutwestemporium.com/ and here's our Patreon page.. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=2761318&ty=h Copyright WayOutWest.

great video, brilliant idea, i live in the wet patch (cavan) and have just cut some runners from a friends strawberry garden, i am about to plant them in trays do i need to plant them in a rich manure mix or just ordinary potting soil? thanks

Lo que mas me gusto fue el trabajo en equipo 0:46 :)

Great idea!!!....Off the ground.....no slugs....I think having the local home store drill the holes in a pvc pipe would work well. Thanks for the video!

This only works in a green house or warm climate. Here in Northeast U.S.A. you must have 1' of soil or more or the plant WILL FREEZE!

how did you make holes on the tube?

cool

Don't you need drain holes?

Hi, we have had great success using a flat tray hydro piping in Australia but it makes sense to use a deeper round pipe for soil based plantings. We opted for food grade though because we were using fish and hydro together called aquaponics. You can see this at our website if you like at www.1aquaponics.com.au or 1aquaponics you tube channel... keep up the good vids. Andrew

what beautiful dark rich dirt that is. the real thing. there's no dirt in Houston. just mud and sand. nothing grows here but shrubs and weed..

If you mix a little peat moss in with that soil your plants may get even more lush. Rabbit droppings mixed in also and tilled really well. The rabbit droppings make them produce.

why are they such an odd shape?

Seems like too much effort for just a few plants. By year 2 you still have just a few plants. If you put them in a raised bed, by year 2 you have 200 plants and a harvest so large you don't know what to do with them all.

If you used an old glass rack (A frame) you could get more in less space. Just a thought. Hanging them is a great idea too.
