Strawberry Plant Runners
For the last couple of years, our next door neighbour has been growing strawberries in his raised bed, which is just on the other side of our garden fence. And, of course, all the runners from said plants are finding themselves in our garden and completely overrunning our own small flower bed. We have just had to have a gardener in to sort out the gardens for the autumn/winter and he very kindly got rid of all these flippin' runners. I have no doubt that, unless we do something, we're going to have the same problem next year. I am sure that all the roots are now in the ground and it's going to be a bit of a job keeping them out of our garden. Can anyone suggest any way of keeping these strawberry runners at bay .... thanks. Chox.

We aren't on good terms with our neighbours, and they don't care a jot about what goes on over the fence .... where do I get plant membrane from and how deep do I have to dig it in?
RSVP - do you mean as long as I remove the runners there should be no problem? Thankfully, they aren't growing now, so it should be fine during the winter months.
Many thanks, Chox.
