I've just bought some strawberry plants (Red Gauntlet and Hapil).

I've never grown strawberries before, so I have a few questions:

with all the accumulated wisom of one year's growing them I reply
(ducks)

Can I plant them outside now?

yes
Can I grow them in growbags?

I wouldn't - you want to let them grow for several years and the
growbag can provide neither sufficient room or nutrition
If so, how many in one growbag?
What, if anything, do I fertilise them with?

mulch with animal manure (rotted) and homemade compost then later
straw
