I think that's a good idea. Actually, you wouldn't have to use peat pots (some people hate them) but anything as temporary containers, as long as they had sufficient drainage and good soil. I'm thinking of styrofoam or plastic cups, which a lot of people use to grow seedlings in anyway.

What are my chances?

I had a small strawberry area this year with a couple of main plants that had many new runners this year. I transplanted a couple of the plants and put them in large clay pots. A half dozen or so of the runners went in smaller clay pots (they had set themselves in the ground) and I got the whole root ball.

By September I plan to transplant them into a shady area along the north side of my house that I had used as a compost area. 2'X12'. Then I will cover them with leaves, grass, and maybe a top layer of straw for the winter and then move them to a new bed come spring. I am not after crop but rather want to use the plants as hangers in a rock garden wall to be built in the late fall.

I transplanted 60 new plants in mid to late August. My new bed is thriving! I misspoke, I used cocoa noir pots, not peat pots.
