They many types of strawberry containers , depending on the type of strawberries you have. They range from hanging baskets to pyramid planting beds. A little online research should set you up.

I have seen strawberry containers made from everything from gutters hanging from a pergola to pallets and plastic buckets, If you have a cat, then the plastic litter pails are a good solution. Take one with a handle, drill some on inch holes in the sides, Cut a couple of sponges in 1/2 and make "X" slits in them. Hot glue them to the inside of the bucket over the holes. This keeps the soil inside the bucket. Start filling the bucket with potting soil, Inserting the roots of the strawberry plants into the bucket from the outside of the bucket. Keep adding soil and plants as you fill the bucket. Water well. Excess water will drain out of the holes through the sponge. This is also why you have a sponge there...to keep the soil in and retain some water. Hang the bucket so the plants hang down. You can also attach a pulley, plant hanger etc to make it easy to reach the bucket and water them.
