You know what would make this even better and more functional (because I suspect that your lower plants don't get nearly as much water as they need) is this: Before you put the soil in, drill a lot of holes in a pvc pipe and place it vertically in the middle of the basket. Add the soil around it, but not in it. When it's time to water, fill the pvc pipe with water so that it distributes the water evenly all the way to the bottom. Viola.
Sandia you're a genius. Im trying your idea
I just tried this and one suggestion I would make for doing it easier is instead of filling it ALL The way up with dirt, then trying to shove the plants in, fill it up to the level you want your first plants at, put them in, add more dirt, put plants, add more dirt, etc. When I was working near the top and was able to scoop the dirt away from the side it was MUCH easier to get the strawberry plant into the hole without feeling like I was stuffing it and potentially damaging the roots.
Great suggestion! Did this type of pot work for strawberries? Was watering an issue?
Thank you. You know why this is such an excellent idea? I haven't gotten all the strawberry plants yet. Only 6 of them. I can still plant those now and add some more later!
I love that this video is brief. A lot of gardeners on youtube just talk way too much. I don't have time to watch all of these super long videos to get three minutes worth of information. You packed so much information into a nice short video and I love it.
Update: I have 30 hampers now on my terrace complete with all veggies, strawberries and even fruit trees! The apple tree is already making lots of apples! I reckon, I can keep the fruit trees in the hampers if I cut roots and branches a bit bonsai style. And in winter I can easily carry the plants that need protection indoors. A totally brilliant system!
Wow! You are an inspiration! I live in an apartment with direct access to a community patio, but a little section for each tennant outside our individual apartments. This might be the best solution I found so far, if I can find free or cheap burlap sacks.
That's so cool. I might try fruit trees like that. Thanks for the idea!
Do the strawberries winter over in the hamper? I'm curious how perennials do if not in the ground.
@@erinowens1880 is usually recommended to cover them through winter to protect from deep freezes. They go dormant through winter and pop back up in spring. They're supposed to improve with every season.
How do you give them water, especially the ones beneath?
This is a great idea, except for the whole watering problem. I noticed that there was a few requests for a follow-up video. A good solution to watering the bottom portion is using a tube for deep watering (sticking a tube in there vertically, that's perforated); or making the planter about half the size.
Thank you for this really great idea! Last fall we moved from a 7000 square meter property to a cave house with "only" a terrace. I watched all the vertical growing methods on RUclips, but none of them looked suitable for my terrace vegetable garden, nor did they look pretty. Then I saw your laundry basket turned strawberry planter and I immediately knew that this was it. I've so far ordered 10 of the exactly same baskets, also in white and I'm now planting a "thin" plant (i.e. garlic or onion) always next to a "bushier" one. I.e. a lettuce, a strawberry plant, a kale and so much more all for making green smoothies or for cooking.
On top of the laundry basket planters I will plant tomatoes, cucumbers, hokkaido pumpkin, sweet melon, beans and they will all grow higher and higher and onto our cave roof where they can then mature in the hot Spanish sun.
Thank you again for this great idea, organic veggies are our life and your idea came just in time! It's not easy to go from lots of land to just a terrace, but now I CAN! :)
So how did your planters work? I'm curious if the strawberries are alright?
What a brilliant idea! Gardens are just so amazing! It seems the more challenging, the more amazing they become!
Well done, & Happy gardening. 😍😍❤❤✌✌✌
What an interesting and clever idea. I've been vegetable and fruit gardening for many years. I plan to give this a try this year. I don't grow anything I can't eat so will be using the top for additional strawberries. Seems to me that if you use a good wicking potting mix that a drainage hole will not be needed. Just don't plant strawberries in the lower holes. Excess water will overflow through the lower holes.
Maybe you should show how you got the strawberry plants roots through the holes?
This works great! I used crowns and had the same basket and burlap sack at home. I love this because I don't have to use a bunch of straw to keep the strawberries off the ground and I will just put it in my shop during the winter. So easy❤❤❤😍
I can't believe this came up while looking for DIY strawberry containers!!!! I was like, its Laura from Garden Answers!!!! I love it!! Thanks Laura. I'm sold on the idea. 🌻🍓💗🌻🍓💗
Really like your ideas! Tried this on a smaller level with a laundry basket half the size. So far, so good 😊
Hi Sharon Cooper. Can you tell me about watering? Any particular system? Thx
It just doesn't matter how old a video is, they can always come in handy for someone, somewhere down the track!
We're planning on moving house within the next 6/12 months. I've planted a tiny strawberry patch, originally with 3 different strawberry plants, in the actual garden here. They've given us so many of the most beautiful largest, sweetest berries... I've certainly never tasted these from a shop! And have thrown many a baby plant (I'm not sure what they're called, the new ones they grow from the runners).
I've got multiple pots, all with clones of these 3 different strawberry plants, but the number of separate pots are getting a bit out of hand, especially considering we're moving soon.
From your idea, I now know exactly how I'm going to do it! I'm going to grow strawberry towers, from all the baby runners! And they'll be fine in there for next season too, just boost the soil, re-compost, put a new topping of fresh annual, floral plants on top, & I won't need to rush to get them either into the ground or into bigger pots, straight after the move either! (Soon after, but not immediately.)
Brilliant idea! Thank you! ❤❤
Excellent idea. I just happen to have 2 plastic laundry baskets lying around without purpose. Now they have one. Thank you. I love your ideas. You have an amazing eye for aesthetics.
I love looking at her pill and talk about flowers she felt you ration love to so many women that would love to get in the garden to watch you do I love being able to be motivated to work in my yard and put beautiful thing thank you and God bless
This is one of the smartest ideas ever. Who would think a laundry basket to grow strawberries. Plus the top garden flowers add lots of color. God bless. Thank you
I have to take a break every so few days from watching your videos because you keep giving me ideas that I'm running out of yard for! 😂
This is just...
Brilliant Laura !
And fits my budget of " CHEAP OR FREE FIND BLESSINGS ".
BE BLESSED
ABUNDANTLY !
Just watched this. Totally love this idea. I already have this basket - I have yards of hobby burlap I can sew together. Love this idea.
Love this idea. So pretty can't wait for update. Thank-you for sharing.
I would love to see a updated video on how that worked out with picking the strawberries and when. Also after you pick a couple does it keep growing? Your videos are wonderful a new gardener here with just one small planter box and a new subscriber
Probably not so good for fruit production
Hello , im your new subscribers. I am planning to watch all your videos cos i was inspired the first video i watched when u harvested a watermelon, melon, bell pepper and etc. Thank you for sharing your videos 😊😘
I noticed you asked people to subscribe. Very nicely done. I wonder who talked you into it finally. Love all your videos including your family also antiquing with your mum and sister. Love from Australia. Looking forward to your Christmas lights this year. ❤
That is an absolutely amazing idea! I am definitely going to use that and plant them next year in my garden aside my blueberries and blackberries! Thank you for sharing!! Love seeing what you come up with next!
Oh my goodness.. I have 3 of these, and other baskets that I don't use that I could easily use to expand my balcony gardening space. Thank you so much for this idea.
How nice idea that a laundry basket turn into beautiful garden pot keep making videos about this so that you can gave us amazing idea on how to dacorate also oir garden ang even yard madam tkanks and keep safe always God bless you..🥰
Maybe you could show this planter again after the strawberries ripen?
@Brysen Michael why would anyone want to hack someones instagram? What gain is there, lol?
do you ever link your updates for these in the original videos? I would love to see how this progressed
Same here. I don't see many DIY laundry baskets in these gardens later on.
Literally the best idea! I’m doing this at the weekend thank you so much xxx
nice idea. love how you buy beautiful plants. Its hard to find nice plants like that in nurseries where i live.
I like this idea so I can bring the strawberries in for the winter and put them in the indoor garden.
Very clever! Would love to see an update on how this. Thanks, Kris K
Cannot wait to do this. My strawberries made it through our cold winter & I have new ones to add
Just need burlap.
I love this idea...you make so much sense...super easy and so practical, thank you!!!!
I saw similar version on Garden SG channel and after that i saw recommendation to your video. Both are fantastic !
You can also find burlap at places that sell grain too. I've purchased grains in burlap before, when I had horses. 😊 🐎 Love the Laundry basket planter for strawberries, that's a fantastic idea. I'll have to talk to my husband about something like this for on our deck. We get *Full* sun on the deck and need to dress it up oh so badly.
Excellent! I am going to follow this. I too have strawberry seedlings.
Ok. For those who wanted an update, I did see an answer a year later from Laura to a comment about watering them in. She said the strawberry did well and even survived the winter. I guess she forgot to do a follow up video. Probably Too many new things to show
my boyfriend and i have strawberries in both our gardens and its such a hassel hopping around like idiots trying to pick them all with our baskets and there on a hill so we always fall at some point, and the spiders omg huge ! so i think we will transplant some into a basket i just got several flimsy plastic recently that do not actually work well for our laundry that can definitly be re used for this ! glad i came across your channel on a windy day im loving all the creative ideas that average people can actually do ( most garden diys are kind of like if you have 20,000 -50,000 for a budget lol )
Love it! My daughter is growing strawberries 🍓 and I suggest your method. Greetings from Mexico City
great idea never thought of that I have a black one for laundry.. hmm more ideas!!! 👍
That would make a good herb garden
An oldie but a goodie! I think that I will try this one this year!
I would have liked to see a close up and slow down shot of the actual planting of strawberries. I am not an avid gardener. Learning here.
Fantastic idea!!! I'm going to try his with succulents.
I tried planting my strawberries in a laundry basket this year. All but one died and the burlap rotted. I was very disappointed but worth the experiment.
Thats good to know. If you ever try it again, I wonder if plastic lining might help, at least instead of burlap.
Bought a basket end of last year for this and now has the plants in it. Fingers crossed!
That's a brilliant idea I used an old bin lined with a bin liner to grow my carrots lol I recycle my old washing baskets ;) keep up the great videos make my day. hope u enjoyed ur holiday sweetie xx
I just found this on 4/1/21. Another idea I must do! LOL. More strawberries needed.
Love the laundry basket idea. You could also do herbs in one.
I'm so glad I found this video as I've been buying laundry baskets in Dollar Tree for only one dollar! I prefer to have white baskets as they keep the bugs away more than the black ones. I was wondering if a basket full of holes could be bad for the plants but I got my responses from this video! Thanks.
Oh this is a cool idea! Id love to see what it looks like after they have fully grown! : )
Just came across your video.....How cute and clever, going to have to give it a try....Thanks so much for sharing!!
I do something like this last month, good idea for people who dont have too much space :D
Going to have to try the pvc tip for watering them because my lower ones are definitely not looking good
Good idea for flowers and different kinds of plants too.
You are genius always giving us good ideas and new things to learn
I love watching your videos. You do beautiful work!!!!!
Love it I'm going to do this with my 4 yr old nephew . THANK YOU !!
Would love to see all your baskets fill with goodies please
I've always wondered what to do if I want a tower garden but I dont want to do holes on a plastic drum. Thanks a bunch for the answer. Love it.
Very intelligent and beautiful idea 🌺🌺🌺 Happy to see the beginning of the project. This will be a beautiful turnout , I can see it already. Thanks for sharing !!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW! Smart. Cheap. Beautiful. WOW!
Your videos are very nice you plant very beautiful thanks for sharing your videos
Love you guys you make me laugh all the time... love those large snip they would fit just right in my hand.....
This is such a wonderful idea, which is also super affordable! Thank you
short and sweet clean and clear thanks for the video lesson
This is the first video of yours I ever saw. You’re so creative! Here it is five years later and I’m still watching your channel. Love it!!
Such an amazing idea :-) it looks so BEAUTIFUL :-) I LOVE it, thanks so much for sharing this Laura and sending heaps of love and happiness from Ireland for a wonderful afternoon XXXXX
You always come up with the neatest ideas!
I love all your ideas , all you make. I love you thank you for your ideas
Laura did this basket produce strawberries really well? I have that basket and was thinking of planting some if it did well. I could not find the video where you showed it later on. I love all your videos. Thank you for sharing your love of gardening.
I’m going to do this since I have a white basket like this and I’m going to plant strawberries.
It seems you live in a heaven,look at green, sunlight....💕
Thanks, I will make one for my strawberries. I loved it❣
i have to say you r creative!!!!
I love this! I subscribed before I even watched the video! Just the title alone caught my attention! I have three of those baskets and now I can plant strawberries! Thank you for sharing!
I love your creativity.
What a fantastic idea! Next spring, I’ll be doing this on my deck…hopefully critters will leave it alone!
You make me wish we were neighbors! Love this!
Creative and inexpensive alternative to vertical gardening. 👍🍓🏵
The two climbers would be great on the arbor over the walk
Pretty great idea!!
You could also use some weed barrier in place of the burlap if you can't find it I do the same technique for potatoes
Thanks
I would randomly spot paint earth tone colors and a variations of greens on that laundry basket with paint made for plastic. it would all blend in and look like abig bush instead of stark white . Love your idea, will try it.
Thanks for taking the time to make this awesome tutorial. You are a great teacher!!
What a brilliant ideal.
Hi! I love your channel and I was wondering if you can give an update on this video. I have recently purchased my first set of strawberry plants and I am really excited to try this.
amazing when people use their brains
It's such a brilliant idea to plant the strawberries in the laundry basket! I laugh a lot! It's like planting succulents or plants in a crock in Korea, which is popular nowadays! :-) I should try to plant strawberries in a crock! I believe the strawberries will ripe well enough to eat because the crock (Korean traditional jar) can breathe itself due to their ingredients made by soils. That's why we use the crock for containing Kimchi (traditional food) or Chili Paste in it. Interesting? :-) Btw, are your strawberries growing and ripen in the plastic laundry basket?
wow. great idea for city balconies!!!
I super love it! it's so nice... thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas
What a brilliant idea - might try it this year.
Love this idea!!
Thanks for all your videos!
Can you please link the update? I've gone through the comments and somebody mentioned the planter was mentioned in one of your garden tours but which one? I watched one that was 20+mins and it wasn't in there. Would really be helpful if you could just link it or make a stand alone update vid on this planter please!
Absolutely gorgeous, my family and I will be trying this.
Great if you have the warm weather to grow strawberries
Hermosas ideas
Amazing and beautifull... i have to try this out guys! Thank you so much for sharing this vid!!
Can't help but wonder how these did and if its a good project that last more than one season. Seems like a fun idea if you're limited on space, like maybe a balcony?
