I grow strawberries in hanging and vertical containers as well as in raised beds. We also have a few rogue strawberries growing on our property. Planting strawberries is as easy as planting any other vegetable plant in your edible garden. Here is a short video showing the technique. Following the video are my comments on the video.
In general I prefer to not use peat pots in my garden beds because they are not as eco-friendly as once thought. Strawberries actually prefer to be a bit on the crowded side so when planting space them a bit closer together. My last strawberry bed was 4' x 8' crammed one end to the other with strawberry plants and then overflowing onto the garden paths. It started with 4 strawberry plants I brought from the last house then planted in that bed taking less than 2 years to fill the bed. Strawberries are sun not shade loving plants but I still got a fairly decent yield in partially shaded conditions.
Happy Gardening!
