Somewhere I saw this potting idea for Strawberry Pots

- get a frozen bottled water, put holes in it, drain and place in center of pot.
adding soil and plants but leaving the bottle top - accessible.
(hindsight it may be easier to keep the top screwed tight, cut out the bottom and place the bottle upside down. thus giving greater ease of access to opening,)

when watering - use/fill water bottle to make sure all roots get water.

I especially liked it because there seemed to be a lot of soil - waste with such planters.

this way less soil is used and greater irrigation is ensured.
