DIY strawberry planter using recycled drainpipe 🍓♻️
We had 48 strawberry plants to get in the ground, so instead of buying planters we built our own using 24m of old guttering from the demolished barn.
Staggered vertical planting is great for things like strawberries as it saves space, gives sunlight exposure to all plants and they're raised away from any pests that might try to eat them. The best thing is, you can make these as big or as small as you like based on the space you have.
✅️ space saving
✅️ reduces waste
✅️ low cost
✅️ easy harvesting

Don't do this. Every plant I put in them was dead on the first hot day. They dry out compleatly in 2 hours.

I have a similar one, the soil compacts like crazy every time it rains and only purslane/moss grows out

Very curious about watering,they don't dry too fast? And how about winter?

@ynusugur A frames are 1.5m set at 45° with the gutters spaced 15cm, 35cm, 35cm from the top. We've left a bigger gap at the bottom as we're going to plant underneath. Runners are planted 4-5 inches apart to allow space for the roots. Worth noting these are large gutters from an agricultural building so much wider and deeper than average household ones. Recommend also adding straw on top to help with moisture retention
