You can use cider blocks stacked three high with a 2×6 or other plank to create a shelf put you strawberries and other plants that grow low on this top level.

On the ends of the shelf place your larger pots and plan tall growing plants.

Now you can line the outside edges of your patio with what ever kinds of
plants that you like. You will still have use of your patio.
Another good place to put large plants and bushes is in opposing corners on the outside edge of the patio. This offsets the lower plants along the edges.

Don’t over look indoor potted plants to bring brightness inside. Not only do they add to the atmosphere in you home aesthetically, but they will also inprove the quality of the air in you home.

Weather indoors or out the beauty of container planting is the versatility
and economics of container gardening. Look around the house and you are sure to find some item from the home that you could use to plant with instead of fill up the landfill.

I use the paper egg cartons my eggs come in to start seeds they absorb moisture and are the perfect size for seeding plus when you are ready to plant you can use the “cup” and all since the paper breaks down nicely.

Do you have a cat? If you buy litter in plastic containers then you have a ready made pot. Put some holes in the bottom for drainage and add a few inches of gravel to the bottom before filling with soil.

A little creativity and you will soon find many usable items that can make great containers.

Good Luck with your Gardening Adventure.

Hope this helps you!

For your cultivation you can consider also an hydroponic kit. This technique is very efficient and fast. For example on Hydroponics web store you can find some of these kits, nutrients and much more.

Good luck!

Use at least a 5 gal. container. Never forget to water, esp. when the plants get larger and suck up the moisture faster. As soon as the old canes are done fruiting cut them out so the new ones have plenty of light and air to increase their vigour and then yeild.
