How To Plant Raspberries

I'm going to talk to you today about how to plant raspberries. As you can see, these raspberries have been grown in rows and they are a few centimeters apart. This is really important to allow the plants not to compete with each other too much.

They need to be grown in a humus rich soil with lots of organic matter and well-rotted manure. The soil needs to be rich but moisture retentive as well as free draining. The plants are going to grow really quite tall so they are going to need supporting.

These have been in raised beds which is ideal. The raspberry plants are going to get quite tall so they are going to need to be supported, and also it helps that they are supported because they are not going to crowd each other and they are not going to be susceptible so much to pests and diseases. They do need to be protected from the birds so this scenario can be netted, although it's not completely necessary.

There are all sorts of things you can do to deter the pests: you can hang up CDs and maybe even put a little scarecrow up. And that's how to plant raspberries. .
