Default Leaf spot on strawberry plants - should I destroy th lot?


Sorry, I'm kind of new to gardening. I have some newly prepared beds
to plant vegetables in. A friend has offered me a load of free
strawberry plants, after she thinned out her own crop on her
allotment.

The trouble is, they all have leaf spot. Some of the smaller leaves
have no visible infection, but they are few. Should I destroy the lot?
I don;t want the ionfection to spread to other vegetables and fruit
trees etc. Is it likely to?

I'm not all that mad on strawberries anyway....

Many thanks
