| I've done a lot of we searching without a lot of good results (most are too vague). I'm planting two plants (Ozark Beauty - everbearing) per 3.5 gallon container. Is this okay, or could I get away with more per container without trouble?
Thanks for any help you can give. |

| That's about right. I find that if you add more plants you get more but smaller fruit, so the weight/volume of the harvest isn't much affected, and the plants will be happier in the larger containers. Strawberries like moisture, but don't like wet feet/insist on good drainage, so you might wish to add a wick or take steps to ensure your soil drains freely & holds very little perched water. Al |

| I've drilled 2 holes (half-inch diameter) in the bottom of the containers, and I'm going to hang them in my greenhouse. Thanks for the help. |
