    Put black 6mil plastic around the tree-18”??eliminating weeds,BUT before you put tree into dirt- think about buying an aloe Vera (big one), cut sides off, then cut it all into small pieces and put into the dirt before putting in the tree!!-food for the tree, right away..!!! 🤗❤️

    I tried like six different blueberry bushes. Every time I plant one they never survive and I’ve come to the realization that my soil is not acid enough and I’m not fighting anymore but my blood berries rocked I got tons of quartz this year. I just planted raspberry so I hope it does well.

    Put your berries on a trellis and cut back to a few canes every year. That way it's more managable and looks neat

  • @lorianderson2008
    @lorianderson2008 8 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    More Than Farmers has a beautiful trellis system to keep raspberries up nice & tidy & easier to harvest. I'm sure you know how incredibly invasive mint is and that it needs to be planted in containers or it will take over your entire property????

    Mike, you know l am a Christian and love your entire family as well 19:00 as your Christian principles. My daddy had a unique way of raising bumper crops of grapes, muscadines, and scuppernongs that required minimal space and effort. Cog Hill Farm has shown me how to raise any fruit tree (or berry) using the same method. The emphasis is on racing bumper crops, not huge trees or unmanageable, gnarly bushes or vines! Harvesting is sooo quick and easy, even berries with thorns. He is in Alabama and even has to contend with red clay. I was raised in central GA so l understand too! It would be soooo worth your time to watch Jason's how-to videos to learn this method that was taught to him by another Jason at Petals from the Past, a unique nursery in Alabama. You WILL be amazed and pleased you took the time to learn!❤❤❤
