THE STRAWBERRY WALL MANUAL 
By G. P. Hill 
Strawberry wall avoids ground spoilage, outwits birds and conserves space. 
Mr. Hill says: “Never have I had much success raising strawberries. As a half- 
acre farmer I set out my plants with high hopes. Visions of strawberries and cream 
and delicious shortcake are not to be lightly cast aside when one has the garden 
space and the opportunity of producing such dainties.” 
But you know: “The best laid plans of mice and men...” First the weeds moved 
in. When they had been partially overcome, the berries would rot on the wet ground. 
Then those that were left were selected by the birds for a delightful repast. — 
Then the strawberry barrel was tried, but “the inadequacy of the barrel for 
quantity production was immediately apparent. The few plants which the barrel 
supported. produced an amazing quantity of fruit but the capacity was limited and 
the life of a barrel filled with moist earth is short at best. 
From these experiences and observations was developed the idea of the straw- 
berry wall. This is a permanent structure, or as permanent as cement can make it”, 
not rotting out like a barrel. And it keeps the berries off the wet ground and the 
birds can't eat them as they find no roosting place.
