G'Morning Blake that potting medium looks really nice and light to allow for good root penetration….Hope the strawberries do well….You've lots of empty beds waiting for seeds…happy planting!
I only have one season of experience in San Antonio's climate, but the everbearing strawberries that I brought in pots from Florida did ok-ish. Maybe the summer bearing varieties might struggle more because they bear later in the season when it gets too hot? They definitely benefit from some afternoon shade….I found the same goes for my raspberries. Good luck with them, buddy! There's not a whole lot that comes out of the garden better than fresh berries.
Great review as always!
Only concern is wind blowing it over in a storm.
Technical name for the grey watering disk is: "Watering thingy". With Strawberries, aren't you supposed to suppress fruit to promote the plant growth the first year?
Strawberries in that kind of packaging benefit from a soak for 20 minutes. Also make sure that you don't plant the crown too deeply.
Reservoir mebbe?

I tried using raised bed soil in my greenstalk and it got very compacted and dried out very quickly. So I dumped it out and added half peat moss and some vermiculite (and a few cups of worm castings) – it did much better with the extra additions.
"Over here" – "They" tell us that Strawberries don't like their crowns buried, preferring them slightly proud of the surface.
I had to look up Cilantro to discover it's actually Coriander.

A brilliant vertical system, Blake. You are going to have masses of strawberries.
Maybe I missed it but can you plant or put pots in the very top centre tray?
I cant wait to see how the tower turns out
Thanks, I have a small apartment balcony this system will work well on. I will be purchasing them. Again Thanks
not bad. you sure a good wind will blow it over?
I just ordered a four tier one. Thanks, and thanks for the coupon.
