6. STEPS 1 AND 2
Now start adding to the top pot 3 or 4 of the strawberry runners, poking them out of the side holes
STEP 1
Drill or punch 5 holes into each side of the pots
Prepare the 1 litre water bottle that will act as a reservoir by cutting off the bottom section
Punch small holes throughout the whole bottle & lid.
Leave lid screwed on
STEP 2
Place a layer of soil in the top pot
Add the water bottle into pot with the lid face down (only the top pot needs a reservoir)

7. STEPS 3 AND 4
Place tower in a part shady spot for a couple of days (to help with transplantation)
Repeat this step with each of the pots , adding soil & strawberry seedlings to each layer
Move tower around the garden as you wish & in full sun
Add worm tea every few weeks to encourage great tasting strawberries
STEP 3
Top up with more soil & add a layer of pebbles or small stones (the pebbles will help prevent the soil from washing away)
No need to add pebbles or a reservoir
STEP 4
Stack the pots on top of each other with the reservoir pot at the top
