What size pot did anyone get for growing strawberries in these pots? I ran out of room in my raised garden beds so i was going to grow in a pot.

Hi, I got the biggest they had. I am growing carrots in mine. You could grow strawberries but you would have to cut holes in the bag so the runners could travel. Happy Gardening!

I suppose it depends on how small "smaller" is! We raise our own strawberries and they are rarely very big. The StemGem works just as well on those as well as the large ones we get in the store.

Yes they were a little bit bigger than I expected. Hope this helps. They are a gallon pot I believe.

I planted only strawberries in this one, but I also had tomatos and peppers planted in the same idea planters and they did great as well!!! Hope it helps! :)

Potted mine too in about 3ft dia pot and it was outside over last summer and took well. I live on coast in VA. But then we had a bad rain storm and I didn't get it drained well enough and think root rot set in. It's been in house all winter and I mist it regularly but not sure it's surviving. If it's still seems viable when whether warms I think I should dig up and put rocks in bottom for drainage (there were holes in pot but I'd set it in a pan in house just after bad rain and didn't realize pan was full as I kept watering....stupid!) anyway, my thumb is green with 'easy' house plants and this poor guy (we named him Larry) has kept me in turmoil. I read it's fine to pot but not sure where I went wrong exactly. Hope this helps and I'd love any advice from anyone else!

I'd say they're a little larger than 1 inch by 1 inch. They work great to start seeds if you are going to transfer them into larger pots before moving outside (or to a final large pot). I use them mostly for tomatoes and pepper plants. Most other vegetables I either start in 4 inch pots or direct sow. I know I answered more than you asked, but figured it might be useful info.

I planted a variety of plants last year including pansies and coleus. Since blueberries and raspberries are more bushy plants than strawberries I don't know how they would workout.

I used 2 in an 18 inch pot when I went away for a week. Only 1 fully drained and the plant was fine.

I have not...not much luck with any growth with pots in them. They look really nice!

I live on Long Island and my strawberries did not survive this past winter. They were planted in this pot. My parent's strawberries did survive the winter and they were in the ground so I guess it depends.

I did two in each of mine. This is my first year using these pots and so far they are great! Growing way way better than in my raised beds!

This is my first year using the pot I'm trying them with vegetables (cabbage, tomatoes), but I certainly think a dwarf fruit tree would do very well in the large pot.

Hello Cathy, Thank you for asking! Typically, in an 8" pot we recommend 6 bulbs, you can certainly go smaller if you wish. So, in a 4" i would put 3 or 4. http://www.easytogrowbulbs.com/g-18-oxalis-planting-guide-regnelli-triangularis-others-from-bulbs.aspx Copy this link to see our growing guide as well. They are super easy and take almost no water to get started! Let me know if I can assist further. Best Wishes,Dena GrangeEasy to Grow Bulbs

What size pots are you wanting to fill? I used to fill a 5 gallon bucket up to about 6 inches from the top. It is enough to plant one tomato plant or as in my case, one potato plant.

I used an AeroGrow set, (which has very small amt of growing medium) but I imagine you could use small pots, or even seed growing kits/egg cartons, just to begin growing the seeds. When approx 2-3 inches transplant to larger pots and/or outside if the weather is agreeable.
