Growing Strawberries in Hanging Containers / Grow Bags

Even if space is a problem, you can certainly find a corner of your world to hang a strawberry planter.  The sun-warmed, sweet berries are far superior to the store bought ones that ripen in plastic domes. Once established you have plenty more plants year after year.

It’s around this time each year that I start salivating for sweet, fresh berries as I see my hanging strawberry planter growing in and the flowers forming.  Establishing a fruit-bearing crop in a growing bag is not difficult, but there are a few key steps that will certainly help.

Hanging Globe Terrarium

It’s official: I’m addicted to making terrariums.  Who knew they were so addictive?


I volunteered to make this one as part of a group gift and it was so much fun.  I filled the back with a bit of cactus soil, then planted in a pretty little sedum.

I covered that with some moss and some white river stones to set up a base for the Tillandsia stricta that I glued into a shell.  Won’t it be gorgeous when it blooms?!

To make your own, I’d suggest checking out the Terrarium Craft Review & Salad Bowl Terrarium Project.  

Give it a try as part of “You Can Grow That” day, the 4th day of each month.
