Thank You for your very informative video. I would love to grow some different berry plants. Can you grow them in pots to stop them spreading? Especially, if you have a small garden? Where did you buy the original mother plant? 🌿💚🌿
@@pampotgieter7611 ah, thank you Pam 💚 Yes, I grow mine in pots and on the homestead I'll be growing them in raised beds to control their spread. They do very well in pots. In fact, they absolutely thrive in pots and you will see raspberry farms and many other berry farms grow their plants in pots. It really is the simplest way to control their growth and spread. Mine I got from a normal nursery but I did ask them about variety, etc. so I could do some research around when it fruits so I know how to handle them 🌻
I love raspberries, and had several plants growing in the ground. Sadly they all died - possibly from the area being flooded for a while during winter. I will now try them in pots. I have two large pots - 50cm dia and 35cm deep. Would it be too crowded to put two plants in each? I found the video very useful in that I hadn't realised that we have the different times of bearing available here in RSA. And most importantly, that they would then need to be pruned differently. Many thanks!
Thanks for commenting and for your great question 💚 Yes, your raspberries would be much happier in pots and if you drive past a commercial raspberry farm then you will see they are all grown in pots or plastic bags. I would keep a single plant per pot as even a single plant can quickly take up a lot of space in a season or 2. It just means more raspberry pots for you then 😁
G’day Craig, Spring is trying hard to break through here which brings extra motivation to get out into the garden. Thanks for helping us along the way 🪴🍓🍒☀
