Hey calling VFEM .... calling VFEM... here is your strawberry solution..

I studied the pics and I think that they have either a soaker hose or another hard but smaller PVC with holes that runs up and down the length for watering..

I am going to make one of these.... then I am going to either do rain gutter or PVC along the fence..

But i am learning that lettuce is a "cold" weather crop.. can I plant it in the warm weather too? would I just have to harvest the little plants?

If you can plant your lettuce some place in a fairly shady area it will grow all summer. I had lettuce from May thru Nov. last year. Never bought a bit in all that time!
We looked at gutter today and I am not convinced it's deep enough. I may try some just as an experiment though....

I heard about some greenhouse CSA gardeners using rain gutter. It IS deep enough for greens

This is a great idea! I have got a piece of drain pipe 12" diameter and at least 10' long that I have pack ratted for a while because I knew it would come in handy someday. Securing it to my garden fence posts is going to be a trick 'tho.
Thanks for the picture setter4. I couldn't get my mind wrapped around how it worked until I saw it.

How awesome would it be to plant draping plants in, like creeping jenny so they just hang over the pipe and create a curtain to cover the fence!!!??

This is an awesome idea. I just fear the wrath of my husband if I even SUGGEST another project. Wait, no I don't! LMAO

LOL... oops... totally missed this!

It would be AWESOME for my strawberries... but I am lacking much fencing space. And I kinda convinced hubby to build another bed yesterday! Hehehehe

This is awesome! Im definitely showing this to my dad, very cool.

Only problem is that pvc pipe leaks lead as it is used to process it. The gutter would probobly work. I have an old chicken feeder that i can use as another raised bed!! Thanks for reminding me of that!
