    Suitable containers for strawberries

    Now I have got my free strawberry plants I need to find a suitable container. Any advice on how deep the container should be? I would like to use as shallow container as possible. Also how close can I plant in a container? I would like to plant as close together as possible. All the books talk about spacing for planting in the garden not for containers.

    I have a tub 14" square, 7.5" deep.. Also troughs 26" long, 7" wide and 6" deep.

    Any advice would be appreciated please

    My previous experience has taught me to use water retention crystals, but also ensuring there is enough drainage at the bottom of any pot to ensure they don't drown.

          I should think you could get all of them in the 14" tub.
