Yuska , I really have no idea exactly how I'll do it, my 1st thought was to make holes all over the pvc pipe and then plug each end of the pvc pipe and fill each pvc tube with dirt and then add the strawberry plugs in each hole. I'm not sure how to stack them............1st I thought I could simply hang them by strong rope in sucession, then I thought I could lay them between cheap cement block in stair step fashion, to keep them from rolling........that's a whole other problem, maybe I could have wood blocks with a cresent shape carved out of them to hold each tube in place.? If I hang them with chain or rope it would have to hang on something strong, maybe two tall wood posts that have been anchored in the ground with cement.?

My yard has 'limited' sun space, so I have to be inventive with my fruit and vegetable plantings.
My sun space is along our drive on the north side of the house, 1/2 of that space are the perennial flowers, the other 1/2 I've reserved for fruit and/or vegetables. I know I want to have some strawberries some how though. As far as watering is concerned I may invest in a plastic rain barrel this spring to do a majority of the vegetable watering.

The pic is the perennial flower side, the other side hold's large container box's for vegetables, there's just enough room for a strawberry bed and/or strawberry planters of some sort.
