Hello fintuckyfarms,
I'm wondering, it dosen't look like you used any baskets. Did you fill the tube with Perlite, and just placed the plants directly into the Perlite? If so how much Perlite did it take to fill it? The strawberry plants look like their getting nice green leaves. It's hard to really tell from the pictures, but the only concern I have is that the plant spacing may be to close, they look like their only spaced about 4-5 inches apart.

I know you said you have your system planed out your constructing it, but I wasn't sure if you have seen the drawings I made of a similar system I planed to build when I can. I had two different designs thought out for the vertical tube stands. One is for a single tube system, the other is for holding multiple tubes. Anyhow I just thought they may give you some more ideas if you haven't already got it covered.

P.S.
I guess you'll have plenty of strawberry plants left over to stick in your backyard, but keeping the animals out of them may be another issue.
