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!

Bigger pot the better. You can also fool the trees to flower and fruit in fall winter time if you bring it inside. Fruits in 2 seasons. Experiment. Thanks

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

As I recall, the pots are small, perhaps no larger then a 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch square. Just enough for a two to three inch high plant. I hope this helps.

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.

With the 15 gallon size we were going to put 2 tomato plants in just one bag but I if you go to different sites to look up container gardening they say a 3 gallon pot for 1 plant so I recommend the 5 gallon size for 1 tomato plant. We returned ours because we thought they would not hold up over time.

It would be better to use pots or long planters. I use pots and works very well.

Definitely put it in another pot. You want to have about 5 extras inches of dirt around the roots so they have room to grow. Be cautious that you may be getting fruit flies. Mine produced a ton of lemons in the first year but I hated the fruit flies. They breed in the soil and are difficult to get rid of. When you see the first one, start taking action

Mine are in pots on a deck. 2 years on doing fine. I left one as a trailing plant and one climbing a trellis. No berries yet but are still beautiful.

I have six 6-8" pots on four shelves with no problems. Some of my African violets have grown so much that they need a shelf of their own!

A year ago, I just pulled out the weeds that were in a silo foundation, added in some top soil and some sand and a couple small bags of potting soil and then planted my strawberry plants. We were still picking strawberries in October and I had a ton of runners on the plants that I cut off the plants and started another plot in my front yard. I mulched them just before winter and they are all coming back up right now and growing great. Getting another bed started soon with some of all the new runners. I also learned that wild rabbits love to eat them so it will be a raised bed this time.

Unfortunately, the answer is "it depends"... I happened to have some larger pots that I used for the larger and faster growing plants like tomatoes and peppers. The pots in question seem to be working great for herbs and celery and the cabbage/broccolli plants. I transfered them at about 2 inches. My biggest worry now is maybe having to transplant again with this cold late spring we are having in MN...

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.

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! :)

They can grow the pot they are plantedin,but for optimum results it is best to put them in a larger pot.I recommend a growing medium of peat with a small amount of river sand. I usually go with a 3 to 1 ratio with the higher number being the peat.
