I have had my strawberry bed for 5 years now. They still produce well but I think that I should dig them all up and replants with new stock? I have another small bed so I will have some whist the new stock grows.
Louise, fill a small pot with soil and pin the runner, still attached to the mother plant, into the soil and it will root, and hey presto you have a new plant. As your question was some time ago, you've probably done it already.

This is a great thread. May I add a question to it?
I have a tub with strawberry plants in and I can see a runner has developed. The tub is already full, but I want to use it. What do I do with it?
How do I over winter strawberry plants?
