Reply To: strawberries in polytunnel

Hi Karen
Thanks for your thoughts. I am growing heat loving toms, peppers, aubergines etc but we love strawberries and grow everbears outside, which produce right up to the first frost, so I wondered if I put some in a pot and moved them in to the green house if they would carry on fruiting under cover so long as they did not get frosted??

Peapod – a friend has made frames out of pallets to hold the grow bags and just grows in the top of open grow bags (but then he replaces the compost in this way rather than buying new grow bags. I suspect that there would be less water loss if you grew in slits. He grows in a green house with lettuce under and is very successful.
