Sequoia Quinalt

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

>Bill, you said that you grow strawberries. Do you use the SF method? You 
stated their names---were they junebearers, everbearers, day-neutrals, or 
alpines?

Sequoia, which stands very tall
Quinalt, a 'regular' height

They are called a two-season.  But I THINK elsewhere that
is sometimes called (semi-correctly, and has something
to do with climate I think) everbearing.  Both run, 
tho Sequoia is not supposed to much.  The quinalt 
almost seems to 'divide' more than run.  Maybe 
it's a very short run and I don't notice, so I
separate one away.

I try to furrow between to drain excess or to water
but also hose them sometimes. I use well composted
manure and a touch of fertilizer and get only some yield.
Berries may be OK or small.  Or eaten and I'm not 
sure it's birds. never see them.  Have fence around,
but is 1 1/2 x 2 holes. I think it's not the 
variety of plant but my care somehow.

 a SFG bed &
"pyramiding" that with 3 or 4 total beds that diminished in size going
up. Is that in the Horticulture article you mentioned, Chuck? Anybody
have a written source on that idea?

SF/SFG are terms I don't know. or acronyms anyway.  the terrace
method is known for this.  It has pluses and minuses.  From the 
top, it's still the same area.  The roots have a tiny bit more 
room.  Can be aesthetic.  like a strawberry 'jar' planter
with all it's pockets, which faces the sun?  Or plant 
lettuce on the "far side."
