Multiplying your strawberry plant is easy, just take a runner with the tiny plant on, leave it connected to the mother plant.
Make a peg and peg it down on the ground or into a pot of compost and let it take root.
When it's taken root ( in 4 or 5 weeks ) cut the umbilical cord that's connecting it to the mother plant. There are lots of plant that show on the same runner, so I peg three plants down then nip the end of the runner to encourage healthy growth in the three young plants.
A stawberry bed lasts around three years then it must be moved to another part of the garden.
