This sounds like great advice. I'm still a bit confused, though ... exactly WHAT goes up the middle of the jar? Small stones (put in w/ a cardboard tube), or a PVC pipe with holes for watering?
The strawberry jar that I purchased has quite a bit of space before the lowest hole. Should I be filling that part up with something besides potting soil? Someone suggested styrofoam - which made me cringe - but I wasn't sure about maybe pea-stones, crushed ceramic, or something lighter?
Hi barbierae, you can use either way, stones OR the pipe. I actually prefer the stones. And put soil in the whole pot, your plants will spread their roots in all of it.
