Plant an Easy-to-Water Strawberry Jar

 

Length: 5:18

Keeping the soil in strawberry jars evenly moist can be challenging. Most jars are made of clay, which tends to dry out easily, and they're usually positioned in the sunniest spot in the garden. The design of the strawberry jar also makes it difficult to get water out to the sides of the container where the plants' roots are.

In this video, Fine Gardening assistant editor Daryl Beyers demonstrates how to plant an easy-to-water strawberry jar.
