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 2 feet tall and holds six to eight plants. The stackable pots can go up 6 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.
