Most strawberries grown on plastic today are annual types, you plant them
through plastic in fall, harvest from mother plant in spring then pull up
the crop and double crop a vegetable on the same plastic mulch. Its very
hard to grow perennial strawberries on plastic, getting the runners to stay
put where you want them is like getting your two year old kid to stay in the
yard. The annual types are far more productive and a lot easier to keep weed
free... Bob.
