I have some manic strawberries growing in my backyard and I want to move them to a better location. I usually work near bulbous flowers and not fruits and veggies. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Answers: Pretend that they are bulbs.
Seriously, rampant strawberries tend to have runners and root clumps. The clumps are 2-4 inches directly below the center of the plant.
Take one and the same type of trowel you'd use on a bulb to remove the plug of dirt.
Be forewarned though, if they are true wild strawberries, you may hold them next year both where on earth you planted and where you removed them.
It's possible they are "feral" (planted strawberries that hold grown wild over time.) Feral strawberries tend to own a rhizome-like clump.
And, see post below. FYI.
FYI..those will take over your patio..they spread like crazy and choke out your grass.
