Danni, we got our seedling from bunnings too!
We have done ours as a tower, so we got a big pot (biggest we could get at the time) half filled it with some potting mix, then sat a smaller pot inside the big one, filled the 2nd pot with some mix, then got a 3rd, even smaller pot, sat it inside the 2nd pot and filled it as well. Then we filled the rest of the pots, readjusted them a bit and planted the strawberries.
I have seen them planted in those herb containers, you know the ones that have the little holes all around the outside of the tall pot and you just pop a herb in (or strawberry plant) in the holes.
DH has a friend who has heaps of the white polypipe stuff, and he cut the pipe in half, filled it with some mix and planted the strawberries. They have it going down one side of the fence. I thought it was such a cool space saving idea. you could even hook up a dripper hose to the inside of the pipe for watering. But DH wasn't too keen on the idea.
Forgot to add, my inspiration for strawberries was watching a segment on 9am with dave and kim. If you check out the, sweet things in the recipe section, and look for Self Serve Strawberry Surprise..yummo...don't know if I'll get enough strawberries for this one though.
Danni, sorry for taking so long to get a pic uploaded. I took the photo with DD's camera and have managed to get it on the computer...somewhere?? but am trying to find it to resize it before I put it in the gallery. Will sort it out though..
