We have loads of strawberry plants in our garden as theyve spread over time and i was going to give cuttings to people, however i was just going to cut the runners and put them in pots, so this isnt the case?:beer:

No! I tried that a few years ago. Push the runners into the ground and press down with a bit of wire (I used a bent paper clip). It will quickly take root and then you can plant into pots. You can also do this with the tips of blackberries, etc.

Wookey

Sorry to revive this from last year but wanted to ask.

I have a couple of strawberry baskets I am going to do this weekend and was wondering once all it starts producing runners would I be better transplanting the plants out of the baskets and into soilor would the above suggestions about placing pots around it be ok?

Also what does a runner look like, lol, and how will I know when its rooted so I can cut it? Or does it seperate itself?

Thanks guys.

If you take a look at this guys method it should send you in the right direction:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHuSz2LVe1A
