Hello all,

I would like to grow strawberries in strawberry pots this year (I cannot
grow them in the ground - long story)  and have several questions for
anyone that may have done this.

I have found a variety - Cardinal - at the supplier I buy from (Krohne
in Dowagiac, MI) that has a description that states "it is best for
hanging baskets....will usually set fruit on unrooted runners..."  does
anyone have experience with this variety?

Also, I am seeking advice for what type of soil to use in the pots and
how often to feritilize.  Any other suggestions or voices of experience
are also appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.
