Author Garden: "canned" strawberries? badplanter Garden Pro! Member # 10062 posted                       It is at all possible to keep a strawberry plant (of any type) in a coffee can? One of the larger ones? Or any other type of small root veggies? Thanks! * * * * "I don't want no more of army life, gee mom, I wanna go, but they won't let me go, gee mom, I wanna go home!" My PB!

And those little round carrots, the mini-peas, and radishes (I'm a great one to be talking about radishes....) Just make sure to make drainage holes with a can opener. I'm not sure about this, but I read somewhere that if the can rusts, the rust will put iron into the soil. * * * * Plants: 1772 | From: Southern California, USA | Registered: Feb 2006  |  Seeded: 207.200.116.7 badplanter Garden Pro!

Member # 8075 posted                       The rust is good IF it really does put iron into the soil. I had a gardenia once that seemed to do better after I poked pieces of a rusty old table into the soil around it. * * * * Plants: 1772 | From: Southern California, USA | Registered: Feb 2006  |  Seeded: 207.200.116.7 sibyl Garden Pro!
