Default Growing Strawberries

Hi all

A quick few qs on strawberry maintenance..
We are currently enjoying quality and full flavour strawbs from 9 Elsanta
plants given to us last year.
They are putting out runners with "baby plants" forming.
Should these beginners be pegged into the ground in some way, or maybe sat
in pots of compost?
In terms of plant age, should the new starters be used to replace the
existing plants, or as additions? Do the "parent" plants have a finite
life?

TIA

Phil
