I found one at a garage sale years ago. I found it extremely difficult to keep watered and dried out quickly. I finally put in a PVC pipe with holes drilled at intervals to let water get to all levels--it was still difficult. You have to be extremely viligant in your watering. JoAnn
That looks amazing. I would love to have one. Can you imagine no weeds and just walk right outside to pick? How nice is that. Looks like alot of lumber though. Did you see any plans for it?
I didn't have great luck with strawberries, but we had a cabin on a lake and 40 acres of recreational property we camped at so we would be gone for a few days at a time and it did dry out too much. When we moved out of Minnesota it didn't come with us. J
We have a strawberry tiered garden. Just two levels though. Joann is correct in saying you have to be extremely vigilant in watering. And don't be fooled, weeds still find their way in. However, the vigilance in watering and the weeding are all worth it to have some great strawberries all in one spot. yummmmmm! Another pro about it is you don't have to bend over as far.

I like the looks of both the tower and the tower of terra cotta pots. Either way looks cool to me. I used a big plastic tub to put my strawberries this year. Wanted to contain them, in my garden. But those are really cool ideas.
