This is a hanging sausage garden for strawberries.
It was simple and easy and fun and low tech.

Thanks for the pictures. All the leaves look red or brown, which usually signifies trouble. I've dropped a link to a chart that may help you identify the problems.

I grow strawberries hydroponically and they are difficult at best! Hope you have more success at it than I have had.

Thanks freemangreens for the link. In this case the problem is that the sprinkler system has been off for two or three weeks and they are bone dry. Sorry no pics in their full glory.
The drip system also waters my full yard and we had a few weeks of rain finally here in Seattle so i turned it off.
They are done flowering for the season and are only propagating runners poked back into the holes and trailed to the ground.
Amazingly resilient they are now growing again. Any thoughts on how to overwinter this device? I could pluck the plants out and into a ground level pot for the winter or leave in place. I suppose I could rig up a rain guage funnel from a cut off bleach bottle to keep them moist.

Ebb and flow should work.
From what i've heard dont water the leaves and corm too much or u'll get fungus, let the top of the corm stick out. These sausages are basically just hanging planters full of perlite and peat and using miracle grow. NExt year i will give more Nitro. maybe use some fish product and certainly a more robust variety. We have some H15 hybrids that are indestructible.
So what problems have you had?
