in Fruit & veg
I just bought 25 cambridge strawberries, my 1st attempt at growing
I am going to plant out 15 in veg patch with weed membrane.
believe i need to cut off any runners to push all the energy onto the main plant
but strawberries will start to lose there fruiting in a few years.
should i maybe wait till year 2 and allow some runners to root and then say let them replace 4 plants and then do the same again the next year for another 4 plants so that i begin to get a cycle of old and newer?
hhhmmm

Hi Marc.
They reckon 2 or 3 years is right for replacement.
Why not save the very best runners this year and pot them on and remove all others.
Next year do a few more, the following you should be replacing some of the weaker Mother plants
planting next week, 15 of
so let grow for a year and then following year i was thinking of replacing one row etc then the next row the following year and so on.
so maybe pot on some runners end of next year to replace a row of and discard the rest
