Do you want to grow your strawberries in a space-saving way? Do you hate it when slugs and other pests eat the berries? Build a strawberry crate tower.

I first saw this idea on CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY YouTube channel.

I only had time today to plant up one crate with some leftover strawberry plants but the idea is to do the same with the other three crates (except leave the top plants out) and stack these up into a tower. Saves space and keeps the bugs and slugs away.
