Only available for reserve and collect, sadly my 2 nearest stores don't sell them! Shame you can't buy online as I'd have loved a couple of these.

You have to water strawberries in pots more than when they're in the ground, and being a juicy fruit they need plenty of water. So fine if you have the time to check on them and water everyday.

I bought a similar one a few years ago, but I planted it up with herbs.

I put rosemary in the top as it is a woody upright plant, and let the likes of thyme etc, just trail in the smaller parts. Just keep it near your kitchen.

I've got a similar pot with strawberries in, and a bit of border with strawberry planrd in. The pot hasn't given me and fruit in 2 years, whereas I get quite a bit from my little border patch. The pot probably doesn't get enough water/nutrients, but I don't have to anything to the plants in the border.

Same here. I tried similar pots for a couple of seasons but nothing much happened compared to the ones i have "in the ground" , and I dont have the patience to check the pots every couple of days.
