Does anyone have advice on growing strawberries in a greenhouse/poly tunnel?

[Guest]

I have some strawberry runners from my sister and want to grow them in the polytunnel to avoid the critters eating them before I do.

Anyone have overwintering advice?

I planted mine outside and then used some PVC pipe along with some T-post did a hoop with several and covered it with deer proof netting. It works very well. It is inside of a fenced garden area. I planted them just when it was the end of fall 1 year ago this summer I got around 16 gallons of strawberries.

Variety matters.. Put the poly tunnel away for winter set it up again in spring.
