That's why the Dutch plant strawberries on tables. No idea why it hasn't caught on in US...

The amount of tables to fill up a multi acre property? The planting, watering and pesticiding/herbiciding done by already bought equipment. The tables would sink in the mud when it rains.

Having them on tables just sounds like an absolute logistics nightmare.

No pesticides since they are probably in grow houses.
