You only need to use straw if you are growing in the ground, GVR. It stops the fruit from getting gritty. Your tower will do the same job.

Thank you Scarey55! Sounds great. Can you grow strawberries indoors though?

I just put growing strawberries indoors into Google (other search engines are available ) and there is loads of info on how to do it, which varieties are good etc. Hope it helps.A garden is a lovesome thing, God wot! (Thomas Edward Brown)

nowt under mine, but my soil tends to be very dry so the fruit doesn't rot on the ground and slugs aren't a major problem (although the blackbirds will take a bite out of every single fruit if I let them)All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.

We used slug traps with beer for the first time this year, and so far, we've been happy with the results. We're growing strawberries in hanging bags and in a big bag, but have a couple of plants on the ground. Haven't seen any slug damage on any other plants, though, including newly planted-out green beans.
