Companion Planting with Strawberries
Strawberries are a great container plant, (try growing them in a metal wash tub sometime) but they also work as a companion plant. Suggested companions for strawberries are:
The borage helps to strengthen the strawberry against insects while the thyme deters worms. Lupin helps to attract honey bees.
When companion planting with the strawberry be sure to avoid cabbage and plants that are in the cabbage family.
