NEW PYRAMIDAL 
STRAWBERRY BED 
Hight times as many straw- 
berries can be produced in a 
pyramidal circular area 6 ft. in 
diameter as in a similar ground 
area, 
The bed is made of a series of 
aluminum bands filled with earth. 
The longest is bolted into a 6 ft. 
circle, placed on the ground and 
filled with soil. Then four more 
bands of decreasing size are add- 
ed and filled, each allowing an 
8 in. terrace for plants, 
A core of sand fills the bed 
down to the bottom layer making 
watering and fertilization simple. 
(Use a little Green Thumb Plant 
Food for fertilizer.) Any good 
soil mixed with peat moss is rec- 
ommended to fill the pyramid. 
The bed accommodates 75 plants.
