Re: Way To Post! StrawberryZ

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

The pyramid/terraced beds was not discussed in the Horticulture article,
but I did see it discussed in several articles discussing strawberry
barrels. (I had originally thought I would grow strawberries in
containers because of limited yard space; I opted for the terraced beds
because it turns out I had a spot and I expect beds would outperform
barrels in the long run.)  I recall something on the Michigan State
University Extension web site (don't know if it's still posted); I also
recall seeing something on this in an old Rodale book on Fruits and
Vegatables that was in our public library.
