RE: How does your garden grow? strawberries

Since you mentioned strawberries, I have a questions about the runners.  I have been letting mine just grow and was thinking about digging them out and transplanting them to a new bed.  When is the best time to do this?  

Do any of you mow down your strawberry bed in the fall.
