How Do You Grow Raspberries On A Trellis?

0

Beautiful and edible red raspberries are a gardener’s delight; their fruit is delicious and nutritious and their roots live for many years so the effort involved in planting is well-worth the many seasons of fruit your plant will bear. To grow healthy, long-lasting raspberry plants, begin preparing the soil and growing site up to a year before planting and build a sturdy trellis system to support your plants. Your efforts will be rewarded in the form of juicy, ripe berries for many years to come. Choose a site with well-drained, loamy soil and full sun. Kill all perennial weeds in the year before planting. In the summer or fall that precedes planting, add two or three bushels of an organic fertilizer such as manure, compost or peat moss per 100 square feet and rototill to incorporate into the soil. Test the soil pH and add ground limestone if pH is below 5; an ideal pH is between 5.8 and 6.5. Before planting, add a pound of 12-12-12 fertilizer per 100 square feet and rototill the site.
