DIY Topsy-Turvy Strawberry Planter

Cut a piece of vinyl that is 23 inches long and 18 inches wide and two strips of vinyl that are each 3 inches long and 18 inches wide. Cut four pieces of cord measuring about 10 inches.

Place the two smaller pieces of fabric on one short end of the large rectangle and sew the three layers of fabric together. The planter will hang from this edge so the small pieces of fabric help reinforce it.

Fold the fabric in half, width-wise. Sew the long side and the other short side of the rectangle to form a tube. Turn the tube right-side out.

Use an Xacto knife to cut 15 2-inch slits on the body of the tube. Ensure that none of the slots are directly above each other.

Attach four rivets to the open end of the vinyl tube. Ensure that there is an equal amount of space between them. Tie a piece of cord to each rivet and tie the ends of the four cords together. Hang the planter from a hook. In "Container Garden for Health: The 12 Most Important Fruits and Vegetables for Your Organic Garden," Barbara Baker states that strawberries should be placed in an area where they will receive full sun but be protected from excess water.

Pour potting soil into the tube up to the first set of holes. Tamp the soil down lightly, then insert strawberry seedlings into the holes at this level.

Repeat this step until you have planted the last set of strawberry seedlings. Cover the roots with another layer of soil and tamp the soil down.

Water lightly. Barbara Barker says the strawberry seedlings need up to an inch of water weekly. Keep the soil moist.
