You don’t need a traditional garden bed to grow delicious strawberries! These versatile plants thrive in containers, hanging baskets, vertical planters, and even hydroponic systems. Here’s how to grow strawberries in small spaces:
For container gardening, go for everbearing or day-neutral strawberries like ‘Albion’ or ‘Seascape’ since they produce fruit continuously.
Use pots, hanging baskets, or grow bags with drainage holes. A container at least 12 inches deep works best for healthy roots.
Strawberries prefer well-draining, nutrient-rich potting soil. Mix in compost for extra nutrients.
Place your strawberries in a sunny spot (6–8 hours of sunlight daily). Keep the soil moist but not soggy.
Feed with a balanced fertilizer every few weeks and trim runners to keep the plant focused on fruit production.
Enjoy homegrown strawberries—no garden bed required!
