    My raspberry make new plants every year and they renew plants from the roots. And after 2 years the old one dies off. I’m not sure if that how yours are. Not sure the weed fabric will allow new sprouts?

      ​@catherineciviello2520 my double gold raspberries plant bought 3 from Starkbros back in 22, the 3 gal pot made 30 plants each in 2023, separated them out in fall of 23 had 90 plants now. Currently in ground on a 30' row I have to dig up the ones that go out of the 4' wide bed they multiply like crazy worse than wild blackberry. I just give them away to family.

      I love you guys ,that said this is the only video in all you' ve done I personally find flawed. Berries are not grapes. You will be killing emerging shoots if you plant them as you did the grapes. Also $ 10.00 plant should always go in a $ 30.00 hole. In other words a hole at least half as bigger and deeper that the pot or root ball. I Know you know this so I'm not understanding your process here.
      Well it's an opinion and observation , Good luck and I hope I'm wrong.

  • @bonnieingraham6147

    Yeah the weed fabric will prevent new canes from coming up. They send out runners. We started our patch many years ago and have a large prolific patch. No trellis needed . The canes support each other.

  • @allenj5865
    @allenj5865 26 วันที่ผ่านมา +45

    The problem with planting berry plants with a ground cover/weed fabric is the plants send new shoots up from their spreading roots. The fabric will prevent your plants from naturally reproducing. I use several layers of compost, mulch, and manure as my berry bed. Weeds pull up easily and regrowth is prolific. The new plants can thicken your berry patch or be transplanted to expand it elsewhere. I've even sold many of these new plants as starters.
    Also, when planting your berry plants, the roots should be stretched in a direction that keeps the new shoots coming up where you want them. Bunching up these elongated roots when planting will inevitably kill your plants. This means that your initial planting holes will be oval in shape rather than round.

    • @laurel7704
      @laurel7704 26 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      And the original raspberry plants die after bearing fruit so without the new plants sprouting up, you will not have any berries the second year. They should be grown between two wires on each side. They don’t need to be trellised or tied up, just something to lean on.

    Nothing like putting down ground cover in the wind! 🤣We're planting strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, grapes, and just put in 14 fruit trees. I order from Schlabach's Nursery, an Amish nursery that has been in business for generations and just happens to be about 20 miles from me. I use a drill and auger for my planting holes. Great idea putting down extra fabric around the plants for weed control, Thatks!, going to do that here. Looks like a good day for planting, wishing you a bountiful harvest.

    My raspberries and blackberries send sooo many new shoots each year and the 2 years old die. I do not understand how it will happen under the fabric?
    Maybe only narrow fabric? Or planting in between to strips of fabric with possibility to open them for a new growth?

  • @jperiksen
    @jperiksen 26 วันที่ผ่านมา +11

    The cane plants replace the cane after 2 years, and they spread through their roots, if you have the weed fabric they will not be able to replace the canes or expand. a better option would have been either a thick layer of mulch or to cut through in strips instead of holes i would think, like burn a 1 foot long hole spaced a foot or so apart. also the canes do not get bushy.

    • @mammahasspoken
      @mammahasspoken 26 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Agree with this. The other thing I would add is that raspberries are super evasive. I planted 3 canes last year (also got them from Stark Brothers) and this year I have what seems like a bizzilion of them. My plan is to transplant them in the fall to a place on the farm that can handle the over growth of them.

    • @dig_grow_cook

    Want to add to my comment below: berries prefer acidic soil. If you have not done a soil test, rather than add manure-based compost which might be more alkaline, I would water once a week with a diluted fish fertilizer, and maybe sprinkle a tiny bit of powdered sulfur around plants about 1 foot out. For your viewers, I recommend doing a soil test prior to planting berries, and if your soil is alkaline, dig in some sulfur (no more than 1/4 cup) out about a foot from the plant. I realize you are using weed fabric to lessen your labor, but for your viewers, it would be worthwhile to kill the grass in the area you wish to plant in over the previous winter by laying down cardboard and dumping some free wood chips from your local arborist on top. Not only will that kill the grass over the winter, but it will help create the acidic soil condition berries love. I use free cardboard and free woodchips around all my berry plants to keep weeds down rather than spending big bucks on weed fabric, which eventually will deteriorate into plastic shreds and prevents you from fertilizing properly. Also, berry plants need a gallon of water a day in hot weather, so you may want to run a soaker hose on a timer.

    Awesome berry good day !!! Great job setting up your berry row. That will be a big help to a lot of people all over trying to grow berries that will be easy to pick. Thanks so much for taking the time to share with everyone. Fred.

    We used free wood chips around ours for 2 years to help ours grow without weeds. It breaks down over time and helps new shoots come through. We just weed eat occasionally between plants to get rid of anything we don’t want growing where we mow. I like your idea of using the weed fabric as well. You could just enlarge the holes by burning a larger hole for the shoots as the plant grows.

    I feel your joy! I've lived on my property for 23 years and always had plans for orchard, and several berry patches. Finally, this year it happened. I was able to get 18 trees to finish off my 23 tree orchard, 16 elderberry, 15 raspberry, 5 prime ark freedom blackberries, and we have been blessed with loaded Muscadine vines and 12 mulberry trees discovered this year. I planted the last 5 blackberries last night. I'm actually finished. Everything else will be propagated from existing plants. It's been a huge goal for decades and .... I am done. 🎉❤

    Jason, from Cog Hill Farm has a Great video of tresseiling his berries. He copied Peatals from the past. 2 or 3 years old now and beautifully under control.

    Your berries are lined up east to west, which means the leaves on the north are always somewhat shaded. Why not line up the berries north to south so all the leaves have a chance to get some direct sun some of the time?

    Just a suggestion, after the grass dies underneath the cloth, cut out the row about 6 inches on both sides of raspberries to allow the next years shoots to come up. Hope that made sense.
    Stay safe and God bless you my friends. 🌱🐄🐖🐐🐓🌱 Lisa

    You should try the Prime Ark Freedom and Ouachita thornless blackberries. The prime ark plants bear the first year and they are a variety that double crops. They are a little different than the regular thornless berries because the canes will bear for two seasons instead of bearing and then dying off. The berries are huge and much sweeter than some that are more acidic.
    I grow them in Kentucky and they have thrived even in this clay soil. Prime Ark berries bear fruit at the tips of the canes so never prune them until both seasons are over.

    Our blackberries are in a wild patch and it's magical. (Thornless) I know our Amish friends do it more like you're doing and they have lots of berries too. More than one way and that's great!

    You should use an auger on a drill to make your holes. You can get them in various sizes. I use mine to plant my flower bulbs. I bought a set of them on Amazon😊

    Good job! Yes Stark Brothers is the Gold Standard aren't they though. I was surprised about the soaker hose, I've watched for years and thought you only used the drip tubing and tape. I must have missed some videos if you have switched over or maybe this is an anomaly? I'm so happy to see Rosie and Bubba have a new playground area, I know they will really have fun being out there roaming free with you guys when you are out there working.
