Thank you for a very concise presentation! We planted Caroline Raspberry bushes this spring, and the wealth of information provided proves very purposeful for our gardening endeavors!
Greetings from Arizona growing zone 9b Just watched your video, thank you for the tips and tricks. We use them in our front and backyards with great success. we love being a subscriber. you have a lot of great videos, and we look forward to seeing your new content come out! Cheers.
Ummm. Well, I've started growing raspberries this year and my cash outlay has been $0.00. The city Pea Patch near where I live has people growing raspberries, and last summer they were glad to have me dig up raspberry suckers that were escaping from their plot. So I dug up some ground near my back chain link fence and planted the suckers there. They have grown up nicely and the longest is about eight feet long. The video convinced me it was time to make a trellis for the blackberries. I had some galvanized steel rods used for holding the ends of chain link fence, and used those as the ends of the trellis. I have a number of old stretchers for backpacking tents, so I stuck a couple of those in the ground as well. I accumulate lengths of old cord which are always looking for ways to be repurposed. So I used a couple of those as the trellis support lines, tied off at the chain link fence, thence around the support poles and back to be tied off again at the chain link fence behind the raspberries. Then I moved the growing raspberry canes so they would be supported either by the trellis or the chain link fence, and tied those off with old twine where needed. That seems to be sturdy enough, and now I have no canes on the ground except for ones too short to get to the trellis or chain link fence. I'll probably trim those off as unneeded. To contain the underground root pioneering, I'm thinking about digging a trench 18" deep or so in front of my raspberry patch and lining that with pieces of abandoned plywood cut to that as a width and usually about four feet long. Pieces of cast off plywood are probably more of an invasive weed than raspberries..... So that's my raspberry patch so far. Any helpful comments would be welcome. I found this video useful except everything seemed to involve spending money on stuff. Money is not a problem for me but why spend money when you can accomplish your purpose by repurposing things you already have or which other want to dispose of?
I originally bought 12 plants from my local nursery, 3 different kinds but mostly black. They all produced like crazy in the first year. I took all the seeds and planted them in my greenhouse and around 200 took off. I planted then around the perimeter of my fence. This was the first year i started selling them. People want the black ones like crazy and i can't grow enough. I'm going to expand to try and meet the demand.
Put 5" terrace board on both sides of your row to help keep grass out and mulch and berry plants in. (I use a row width of 3 feet.) It also reduces the amount of water by constraining the water within the row especially if you bury the terrace board an inch or two in the ground. Constrain the outside of your terrace board by piling dirt against it.
If done right, you don't need any fertilizers or anything. Just water. Just plant in at least 4 inches of wood chips. Every fall add another 2 inches of chips. The chips are the fertilizer as they decompose. All natural and the fruit is huge on all natural wood chip gardens! I love ours! My entire garden is wood chips! Back to Eden garden is what it's called, or no till garden. TH-cam videos on a no till garden. Get ready to be amazed!!! Less work and larger abundance!!
Thank you for your great presentation. I noticed that you said that both types of raspberries were "Floricanes" starting at #455. You might want to check that out and see if you want to make a change.
Thanks for catching that, Catharine. I must have misspoken there by accident! Too late to fix it without taking the whole video down and putting a new version back up, so hopefully viewers recognize that it was an "oops."
i have part of a metal fence between 2 metal fence posts 5ft high. will that do for a trellis? doing 2 blackberries . from post to post it measures 6-8 ft. tks. i'm in zone 5b illinois. fencing isn'y very tight.
I have a question for you please , I live in Canada , Alberta ,I have boyne rasperries plants, just after harvested I cut the old canes and the weak ones on Agost 31/22 . I would like to know if I did right thing, please let me know thanks, also I would like to know if boyne raspberries fruit two times, in summer and fall.
Hi Kimberly - Yes, it is ok to cut away the old canes once they have finished fruiting. This is a floricane-producing variety that only produces a summer (floricane) crop. I typically recommend that folks wait to cut those old spent canes until the late fall or winter when the plants are dormant, but you do not need to worry if you already cut them off - it's ok.
Put wood chips around raspberries, I do my entire garden in raspberry, it's called a no till garden! TH-cam no till garden and start watching, you'll be amazing at what wood chips can do for plants! Know the term "food forest" the idea of wood chips in the garden comes from the natural woods, God makes the trees drop their leaves every fall, creating chips on the ground, it's a all natural fertilizer, and it holds the water for when the plants need it, and then releases it. You can't water too much or too little with 4inchex of wood chips. Just replace chips every fall. 1st year do at least 4 inches, following year you'll only need 2 inches. But it's called a no till garden. You'll never till your garden again, and you'll never have weeds. It's fantastic I love our wood chips garden! Also called a back to Eden garden.
Hi - The woodchips are spread on the entire row. So the area with woodchips in this case is 30 ft long and about 2 feet wide. To address a reply below on your comment - Yes woodchips will, over time, decompose and put nutrients back into the soil. But your plants can certainly still experience fertility issues regardless of whether they have woodchips or not. Woodchips soak up some of the nitrogen you apply, and do not return those nutrients to the soil until they decompose, which can take years.
@@annieklodd6327 well I've had to purchase all natural fertilizers for my plants. I've purchased 6 different fertilizers because my soil is horrible! Yesterday after all of the rain came through, and it's supposed to rain again tonight, so in between the breaks I put; worm castings, volcanic rock dust, bone meal, and a drop of super thrive on all of my plants. Hoping and praying it will help my plants. The wood chips that I got were partially broken down, had been sitting for about 8 months when I got them. However my plants are growing extremely slowly, example it's taken 6 months to grow one lettuce plant. And it's a 30-60 day crop! It's also taken 8+ months to grow tomatoes and any squash plants. Same seeds planted in straw Bales, took less then 3 months to grow. So I had to get fertilizers, oh I also purchase blood meal, and urea pellets for nitrogen. Hopefully all of this added to my soil will help out our plants, at least I'm praying that it will
probs she just misspoke, her patch is so big she cant possible harvest them all so in the middle of her patch when she prunes there is bound to be a bunch of dried shriveled up raspberries still on the plant (fruiting bodies)
I know it’s your choice to use Roundup, but anyone still supporting THAT company is painful for me to hear 😢 You can also try piled up cardboard for a few weeks prior.

Also a great help to me (I also have weedy grass creeping around my fruit and veg) is to edge the patches with brick, rocks or store bought edging.

What zone are you in?
Please name the varieties of black raspberries.
Thnx
Very nice
How do you get the seeds off the berries??
@@allnaturalhomesteaders A metal strainer
I have creeping Charlie and plenty of what rhymes with turf….lol Dogs 😂 great video

Very educational as always. #Keepupthegreatwork ❤❤❤
Roundup? Great presentation, but seriously, you used Roundup?
she tills and uses seemingly inorganic fertilizer haha. makes me think this all organic natural shyt is just half myths
Yeah idk if I'd listen to this woman. She's also telling us to use herbicides on our food!!! Like seriously
If done right, you don't need any fertilizers or anything. Just water. Just plant in at least 4 inches of wood chips. Every fall add another 2 inches of chips.

People seem to forget it was proven to increase likelihood of aggressive cancer?
Poison ,, American s love it ,. They even spray is on their wheat !!! Crazy 😧

@@annieklodd6327i knew what you meant.
Thank you for the information. 😊
HOW MUCH DID IT COST? HOW LONG BEFORE YOU GOT A GOOD HARVEST FROM THE BARE ROOTS YOU PLANTED?
Round up!!??
Crazy!!
Yep mind blow
i am thinking about using green plastic-coated z wire rope clothesline. i have a thicket at the moment.
i have black raspberries that do send suckers and are summer bearing.
i have part of a metal fence between 2 metal fence posts 5ft high. will that do for a trellis? doing 2 blackberries . from post to post it measures 6-8 ft. tks. i'm in zone 5b illinois. fencing isn'y very tight.
What do you mean exactly field life of 6-10 years? What about new suckers? could you just replant those indefinitely or not?
Each plant has a lifespan of 6-10 years. If course each new plant has its own life, of 6-10 years for fall bearing. Summer is 10-15 years!
Can you plant raspberries and blackberries next to each other? Thank you!
I have a question for you please , I live in Canada , Alberta ,I have boyne rasperries plants, just after harvested I cut the old canes and the weak ones on Agost 31/22 . I would like to know if I did right thing, please let me know thanks, also I would like to know if boyne raspberries fruit two times, in summer and fall.

I typically recommend that folks wait to cut those old spent canes until the late fall or winter when the plants are dormant, but you do not need to worry if you already cut them off - it's ok.
could you explain where you are putting the woodchips for me? is it around the bottom of the rasberry or underneath it? and thank you

Also don't fertilize your garden. Wood chips only! The chips are a fertilizer and a big deterrent. No bugs if you have 4 inches of chips

I use plastic to kill the turf the summer before, no need for herbicide then!
I’m from Philippines. What kind of raspberries can grow in my country?
Interesting question, to which I reply --- I don't know.
Did you find a variety you can use?
What do you mean by "fruiting bodies"?
probs she just misspoke, her patch is so big she cant possible harvest them all so in the middle of her patch when she prunes there is bound to be a bunch of dried shriveled up raspberries still on the plant (fruiting bodies)
Why roundup? Use cardboard or plastic bags :)
Plastic bags? Sounds EVIL.
Looks like they planted their raspberries 2 feet apart. Awfully close for the size of the plants.
I know it’s your choice to use Roundup, but anyone still supporting THAT company is painful for me to hear 😢
You can also try piled up cardboard for a few weeks prior.
