Turn your house into a strawberry factory with the strawberry bag

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

With the upside down strawberry planter, you can turn unused parts of the house or deck into a strawberry factory very easily and cheaply. Even if you live in a small apartment it’s easy to grow strawberries with this great new invention.

The strawberry bag is the perfect planter to grow rich, bountiful berries year round inside your home. You can also plant them outside, but some climates aren’t the best for that as we’ve discussed in a previous article.

Fighting against gravity, as Newton would surely tell you is not the easiest thing to do. Why put your plants under this kind of strain, when they can simply flow down from the strawberry planter and decorate your home with wonderful looking berries, all year round. Ever had a craving for a strawberry in the dead of winter but they were nowhere to be found? Not anymore!

When strawberry plants are spending less of their energy fighting gravity to grow up towards the sun, they instead put that effort towards producing great, plump and sweet strawberries. Since regular weeds grow up towards the sun, they will not be a problem with the strawberry bag because of its “upside down” nature.

The plants themselves will stretch down, towards the ground instead of up towards the sun. This allows for more leaves to form, and more strawberries. This all happens with the same plants that you would normally plant in your garden. With the strawberry bag, water is naturally pulled through the entire root system and into the foliage, all the while bringing helpful nutrients and benefits to the plant. Win win situation for strawberry lovers.

With the strawberry bag, you can grow amazing strawberries that taste fantastic, in places you never thought of growing plants before. Once you start using the strawberry bag, you will never again look at a sunny wall in your house and wonder what you could put there, because you will always be thinking of placing more strawberry bags.

When you aren’t living in a climate that is always getting great sunshine year round, and temperatures with proper rainfall it can be hard to grow strawberries. Much of the United States lays outside these temperate zones and will only yield fruit during the summer months. Even if you’re located in a dry zone that is warm year round, rain and watering your strawberries isn’t always done at optimal levels.

With the upside down strawberry bag you can grow them year round, without concern for the weather. When you’re growing them year round, you’re sure to always have a large supply of fruit on hand for snacking, canning or making home made strawberry jam.

Growing plants outside or inside the house, especially when up and off the ground will gain better results than normal garderning techniques, reduce the exposure to harmful predators and other baddies that could harm your plants. Not to mention if you’re growing the strawberries inside the house you probably won’t have to use any pesticides on them. Making the final fruit even more healthy for you and your family or whomever is eating the strawberries.

Upside down strawberries are fun for the whole family and will give you great results year round if you plant them indoors or live in a nice temperate zone that will sustain the plant. They’re strawberry bags are also quite affordable at only $10 and the ability to hold 15 plants in their clean and discreet soil bag. They even look nice and add color to your indoor garden, or outdoor garden. Who doesn’t like seeing sweet succulent strawberries in their garden, especially year round!

Growing Upside Down Strawberries for year round treats.

We’ve all seen the amazing topsy turvey upside down tomato growing system on TV and various newspapers or magazines. They’ll grow your tomatoes bigger, plumper and quicker than growing them in your regular garden. A side benefit is less work, no more bending down and watering your plants, or removing weeds.

What you probably haven’t heard of is the fabulous strawberry bag. This new product lets you grow your strawberries in the same way that upside down tomatoes are grown. What this does is enable you quick access to the roots for watering, and allowing more growth because the sun hits the entire plant, not just the tops of the leaves.

As with all products that work, it’s natural for them to evolve into different markets. Strawberries are a perfect offshoot for upside down growing. Now you can grow strawberries year round outside, or even inside if you’re craving a juicy strawberry in the middle of winter. The plants themselves are not upside down like they are in the tomato planter, however the leaves will hang down which is why we call them upside down strawberries.

The strawberry bag works by inserting your strawberry plants into the side of the bag, separting them nicely and allowing for great water penetration to the roots. The strawberries wil cause less strain on the plant and allow for larger yields, year round. You will probably want to use some sort of hanger system for the bag as it can get quite heavy when you add water.

The bag itself holds up to 15 strawberry plants. Using the patented starburst growing ports, or little openings in the side of the bag that let you insert your plants from the outside, while leaving the soil neatly inside the bag. All while not bending down over the garden and performing backbreaking manual labor.

To actually get the strawberries growing, you just have to hang the strawberry bag up on your porch or by a window inside, put the plants into the insertion slots and then add some more soil to make sure they are completely secure. Following that, all that’s required is repeating the process for the rest of the plants, adding water and watching them grow!

This planter is a great method for older people, or younger people that you don’t want using shovels or trampling around in your garden. Also take into account how much work it will save, and ease of use it will create when watering. No more lugging the hose out and walking across the yard, now you can simply fill a watering can and water it like you would any hanging plant. Pretty sweet.
