05 Aug 12, Jen (Australia - tropical climate): Could I grow strawberries in hanging guttering 15cm deep by 4m long? Do they need full sun or can they handle part sun?

19 May 13, Mal (Australia - temperate climate): You certainly can. They are actually an understory plant, so will do ok in partial shade. They love warm soil/roots, so if you have any paint, paint the gutter matt black.

05 Aug 12, Eva (Australia - temperate climate): I am in Adelaide and have alpine strawberries ready to plant out. There is a good spot which gets shade in the Afternoon but I have a tamarillo tree on a tobacco rootstock growing there. Strawberries don't like solanum plants like tomatoes and potatoes and I was wondering if it was a good idea to put my strawberries next to a solanum rootstock.
