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!

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.

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

My wife and I grew cucumber plants and tomato plants from seed to about 6"-8" before it was nice enough for them to go outside. Must have had around a dozen plants under it. That being said I'm sure flowers will be happy under it. I have also used them for larger plants ;)

I would have to say no. Maybe in 4's. If you want to start individuals go with a bigger peat pot. Maybe 4"

I bought the very small ones. They most definitely strong enough to possibly plant herbs in. Strawberries need much more soil to grow. However, I would plant herbs in them.

I filled one bed with: 1bag miracle grow top soil (2cu ft), 1 bag peat moss (2cu ft), 2 bags composed cow manure (3/4 cu ft each), and 8 bags scots top soil (3/4 cu ft each). The frame was filled with 2-3 inches from the top (room to add nutrients next year). Also my beds were on a slight slope and had to be wedged up on the low side with bricks - slightly adding to the volume. Everything is growing really well. Hope this helps.

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

Personally I have mine in a large pot, about an inch deep, I planted the whole package in the large pot, I kept them outside all summer, then when it turned cold, I moved them inside, they set in from of my sliding glass door on the floor, I water them once a week, just checking the soil, I don't keep them too wet, mine are beautiful, and they continue to grow. I hope this was some help?

Not sure how long it will take to produce fruit, having had it only a month or so, but my 6" is now about 8" tall in a 6" pot. To be fair, being quick growers, I'd imagine it should be taller by now but as per my review the one I received needs some tlc.

glad to help- it's quite deep AND wide- being winter, they're in storage right now, but, last summer i was able to put 2 6" pots and 4 plants out of a 6-pack as well as 2 small creeping jenny's or vinca's in each one- my guess is the depth is 10" or more on the longer part and approx. 8" on the shorter part. they are made of a very durable and thick plastic- will definitely last for years- good luck with your growing and hope this helps :)

Last year I used these for potatoes and the 10 Gal size were plenty big. Then, this spring my 2 trees (6ft.tall) were delivered too early and I am using my 10 Gals Dirt Pots to hold these over until I can plant them outside.They are plenty big however when you water them I recommend making sure to drench the soil. I made the mistake of not soaking the soil and the water ran off the top of the soil and down the fabric on the inside.

Strawberries would work well in these containers. It might stain, but I have not had any problems with staining the past two years I have used them.

I planted them in a gallonish size clay pot. 1 per pot and they are going to have blooms this year. Not bad for blooms 1 year later.

From 1" to 2 1/2". Just got my second batch for this year (this is their 1st year) and berries are even bigger. And a very large second crop. Great strawberries.
