The first step is to place some crock in the bottom of
the pot. The crock will aid in drainage and keep the
herbs from getting "wet feet".
Next, fill the pot with soil up to the level of the first
planting holes. Mix a couple tablespoons of slow
release fertilizer into the soil.
Now you're ready to start planting the herbs. The
best way to plant a strawberry pot is to lower each
plant into the pot and then carefully guide the foliage
through the planting holes. Firm the plants in, adding
more soil as necessary. If you are using a pot with
multiple levels of planting holes, add more soil up to
the next pockets and repeat this step until they are
all filled.
After all the herbs have been planted in their
respective pockets, fill the container the rest of the
way up with soil.
The last step is planting some herbs in the top of the
pot. For a small container like this one, one plant is
about all you have room for. Larger pots can
accommodate more plants. Firm in the last plant and
water the container thoroughly.
