I like this creative use of gardening space!  Plant your strawberry plants in cinder blocks that are edging your vegetable garden or flower beds!

    How do you keep rodents from getting your strawberries. I’ve used all types of fencing

    Bad idea. Concrete blocks are made with lime. Lime leaches water the plants faster than you can replace it.

      Darnit! I really wanted to try that LOL. Thanks for the heads up about the lime. Back to the drawing board.

    Does this work in a zone 4/5 so they won’t die off in the winter?
