I am interested in the way you made your strawberry tubes. I first found you due to something you posted about making them, complete with pictures and I cannot find that page again. I did bookmark your AP page though. I need to get started tomorrow making the tubes because the Strawberry plants will be on their way here soon.
Hi Barbara,
There were two articles;

More Towers
Good luck
