Hi
I had a good crop last year of outdoor strawbs, unknown age and variety as I inherited the garden about 3 years ago, but I figured being at least 3 years old it was time to get some new plants and start again. I found picking at ground level was hard work, so this year I am having a go at growing them in grow bags on a bench. Does anyone have any experience of this? Should i plant through slits or remove whole panel of plastic. As an insurance policy I have kept some of the old plants growing.
Also how good are runners at producing quality strawberries if you pot them up, and how many runners should you take from each plant.
I love this website and I have 3 of Charles books so far, they are brilliant, can’t think why anyone would want to dig.
