Guest bullterrier Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 How did you come to getting 100 plants, did you grow them from seed? no shepp take new runners every year and burn all old plants .. ..john Any tips on how to take runners? yes mate if you already have strawberry plants when they Finnish fruiting you will see runners these are long stems that the new plant will grow from get some plant pots ready with compost and secure the young plant at the end of the runner to the compost and they will take root you can then cut runner from the mother plant and put the young plant in the cold frame over winter and plant out in the spring and your other strawberry plants that you have taken cutting from give them a good sprinkle of well rotted horse muck in the winter for a good crop the following year good luck and hope this helps mate.. ..john ive only got one strawberry plant but its looking healthy,if i just left it alone would the runners self root? yes jacob it will mate. ..john Quote Link to post Share on other sites
