Pot up strawberry runners

27th October 2020

If you are planning a new strawberry bed, or have gaps to fill in an existing one, you can use the runners produced by healthy plants. Sink a pot of compost into the ground and peg the first, (strongest) rooted plantlet down into it; cut off any others and leave until the spring. Only do this if you have healthy strawberry plants - otherwise buy in new plants which will be Certified virus free stock.
