How to Make a Strawberry Planter with Pots

Strawberries are a delicious and nutritious fruit that you can grow at home. By creating your own strawberry planter with pots, you can save space and add a beautiful accent to your outdoor décor. Here’s how to make a strawberry planter with pots.

Materials you’ll need:

3-4 terra cotta pots

1 large terra cotta saucer

Soil

Strawberry plants

Gravel

A drill with a 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch bit

Measuring tape

Step 1: Measure and mark your pots

Using your measuring tape, mark 3 evenly spaced spots around the rim of your first pot. Then, repeat this process on the remaining pots.

Step 2: Drill drainage holes in the pots

Using your 1/4-inch drill bit, drill a hole in the base of each pot. Then, using your 1/2-inch drill bit, drill holes where you marked your pots’ rims. These holes will be where you stack your pots.

Step 3: Add gravel to the bottom of your pots

Fill the bottom of your first pot with gravel. This will help with drainage and prevent water from accumulating at the bottom of your planter.

Step 4: Stack the pots

Place your second pot on top of the first pot and line up the holes. Then, fill the second pot with more gravel. Continue this process with the remaining pots, making sure each one is lined up and securely stacked.

Step 5: Add soil and strawberry plants

Fill your planter with soil up to the brim of your top pot. Then, plant your strawberry plants in the soil. Make sure to space them out evenly and follow the planting directions provided with your plants.

Step 6: Water and care for your planter

Water your strawberry planter regularly and make sure the soil stays moist. Your planter should be placed in a sunny location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. Regularly fertilize your plants and remove any dead or diseased plants to keep your planter healthy and thriving.

By following these simple steps, you can make a beautiful and functional strawberry planter with pots. Enjoy fresh, home-grown strawberries all summer long!
