Sorry about your linen strawberry hanger. I thought it was such a great idea. I put some strawberries in hanging baskets this year and I think I will do a lot more next year because the slugs can't get to them. I hope. I saw a lady at the nursery today who had six big 10 inch hanging pots of strawberries in her shopping cart. They were way to expensive. I can make my own so much cheaper.

Kay, I wondered how long the linen would hold up but I'm sure you ahd fun with it while it lasted. My nursery has them on their inside wall of the green house filled with house plants...I'm keeping an eye on them to see how long they hold up but I think they lined them with plastic of some kind with drainage at the bottom...I've never seen them wet and I go there often.

My strawberry wall disintegrated. It appears that linen shoe bags are only good for a few months, and cannot take the abuse the elements dish out. I guess I will just have to break out the $$$ for one designed for the purpose if I really want to be a vertical gardener.

I'm not sure if stacking tires as my potatoes counts as vertical gardens but I am amazed at how tall they are getting. I add a tire and fill with soil/compost and they just keep growing. I'm excited to see what I find during harvest!

Eluem – That is an interesting idea for vertical gardening. It looks like it really makes the most of small space! If someone is an apartment dweller this would be especially handy.
