Things You'll Need:
- Potting soil
- Gravel (rocks or marbles)
-
Step 1
Choose small strawberry plants that will fit into the side openings of your planter. Purchase a few larger plants for the top of the container, and enough bagged potting soil to fill the pot.
-
Step 2
Pour gravel, marbles or rocks into the bottom of the strawberry pot, over the drain holes. This will help the water drain through, and not settle at the bottom of the container.
-
Step 3
Fill the container with potting soil until it reaches the first side openings. Place your strawberry plants into the holes, roots in. Pour additional potting soil into the strawberry planter. Gently press down the dirt from inside the pot and outside the opening to make sure the plant is securely anchored.
-
Step 4
Pour soil into the container until it reaches the level of the next side openings. Repeat Step 3. Continue the process until there is just enough room for the final strawberry plants on the top.
-
Step 5
Place the top strawberry plants into the strawberry container. Pour soil around the plants and gently press down to anchor them in the pot. Give the strawberry planter a good watering.
