Strawberry runners

Hi all, my strawberries are throwing a few runners out, what's the best way to harvest them? Should i let them root in where they are and move later or could i put a pot with compost in and train it into that? Thanking you

Mine throw out onto wood chip paths so I let them root and right at the end of the season I move them by pulling gently and putting into 3 inch pots. I am sure it's probably the wrong way but I didn't lose any so they obviously are not fussy.

I pin the runners down into 6 inch pots with a piece of wire, and cut the runner as soon as they root. They grow in these pots until the spring when I use them to replace the oldest plants in the bed.

I'd do the same as BQ - if you leave them in place there is a lot less watering too.

Yep, leave them to it, dig them up in the autumn.

Less faff.

Thanks all, shall turn a blind eye to their goings-on for now then and leave them to it until the autumn
