Q: I saw an interesting stackable flowerpot at the store the other day. It showed flowers in the layers, but I was thinking it looked like a way to grow strawberries. A long time ago, my mom had a strawberry flowerpot with holes in the sides. I don’t remember getting many strawberries from it, but I think it might be fun to try. Do these really work for strawberries?
A: They do work for strawberries and many other kinds of plants. I have tried several kinds, and they all work the same way. The old-fashioned strawberry pot is less than six feet tall and holds six to eight plants. The stackable pots can go up six feet with proper support. It takes at least four strawberry plants per person to get enough strawberries, so the taller you go or the more stacks you make, the better.
