Hi All,
you should replace your strawberry plants after 3 years, as they will not
bear enough fruit to make them worth while keeping. hope this helps you.

Hi All,
what you need to do is to peg down the runner with a length of stout

wire
shaped like a inverted U . then the runner will form roots, and you can

then
sever it from the main plant. if you need to move the new plant you can

peg
it down in to a pot of soil, then when you sever it from the main plant

you
can replant it in to a new place. hope this helps you.

Not only that, I've heard that strawberry plants aren't so good the
next year, so it's recommended to replace them with the runner
plants. possibly someone knows more about that.
