Peg the runners into wet compost and sever as soon as they root then it won't drain the parent plant I bought three Pandora strawberry plants and am making loads of new plants from runners, once rooted I will have them in rows
and I generally mulch round the rows early spring with a bag of manure old well rotted, not fresh and hot, or I use compost.Keep them well fed each year and you will get bowlfuls of lovely strawbs. Straw around the plants helps to keep the fruit clean. Plants need replacing about every 3 years, planting in a different spot to avoid virus problems
I plant a few runners in thegreenhouse for an early treat..
