Strawberries are not miniature tomatoes. They grow in shallower containers, often sit in railing planters or hanging baskets, and can struggle when one end of the planter dries out while the other end stays soggy. A tomato-style drip setup with one strong emitter and a long timer run is usually the wrong starting point.
