Cinderblock strawberry pyramid planter

Hello All,
I have several strawberry plants that are in need of planting and after much research I really think the Cinder block planter may be the way to go.First I must explain that I live in an area that has mostly clay soil so very few things I plant do well. I had considered using tires but there is new evidence that the tires could over time degrade and contaminate the strawberries so I decided not to go that route.I had also thought of using treated lumber to build it but there again I decided not to use it either due to possible Arsenic leaching from the wood.Has anyone here ever used Block as a planter for strawberries?. I would really appreciate any advice or idea's you may have to help me make a success of my planter.
Thanks:)

Doing the same with strawberry pyramid or strawberries will net the same.
