Planting strawberries can be a great addition to your garden or an easy stand alone garden project. If you get the materials ahead of time, your kids can easily do the whole project by themselves.
Strawberries are often grown in containers because they tend to take over the rest of your garden. We chose two tractor tires that I got free from the local tire store. First, lay some chicken wire under your tires to keep pests from burrowing up.
Next, after your kids get done climbing on your bags of soil,
Let them dump and spread the dirt into the tire.
Last, let them plant the strawberry plants in the loose soil and give them a drink of water. Most people plant strawberries in spring and have to wait a year before they get many berries. But planting in fall can give your plants enough time to give you a nice first season harvest in summer.
