The Art of Growing and Showing Raspberries.

Raspberry.

The Raspberry Plant is deservedly the number one soft fruit for the small garden, and the only thing that can be against it, or rather the only thing that might deter the amateur Raspberry grower from growing it, is the fact that the Raspberry Plant only pays for itself when it is given good growing conditions.

The Raspberry Plant needs a well dug Deep bed, rather moist soil, the Raspberry will never yield a satisfactory crop on light, badly cultivated ground. The Raspberry Plant is a gross feeder, and has an appetite for plenty of well rotted Organic vegetable compost; we have an article on how to make your own organic compost just go to:->

we do not recommend using rotted manure, because with all the chemicals and drugs used nowadays these items could just get into the plants system, and then into the berries which we eat.

The raspberry plant is chiefly a surface-rooting plant, so it is not difficult to feed the roots with a good mineral based soluble fertiliser, and it may seem contradictory to recommend a deep well composted site, but the value of this will be appreciated during the long hot summer days, dry weather, for then the roots will be kept cool and moist.

The best time to plant your new Raspberry Canes is October, although the Raspberry Plants may be put in at any time during the winter, usually when the ground is fairly dry and the weather mild. Still the early planting of your Raspberry Canes is strongly recommended.
There are two commonly practised ways of growing raspberry plants-in a clump, or with the growths trained fan-shaped on wires, either can be recommended, the Raspberry clump is the desired method for the small garden or container grower, the raspberry plant only needs one stake where the raspberry growths are tied giving least trouble.

Whereas the other method is chiefly used by P.Y.O. and commercial Raspberry Growers, where the pick your own customers can easily walk down the rows and collect the berries, also it is easier for tractors to spray and treat the raspberry canes in the non-fruiting period. There is no doudt that finer fruits are obtained using the wire support method as would naturally be expected, for the raspberry growths are fully exposed to sun and air and become strong and mature.

Providing the gardener plants there Raspberry Plants in good ground and realises the simple fact that the finest berries are produced on one-year-old canes one should find little difficulty in Raspberry cultivation.
