Features of planting raspberries in the fall or spring

If the seedlings have just arrived from the nursery, then you can see the old level of soil on the stems - this is like an indicator of the correct depth of planting.

In order for you not to get upset because of a lack of harvest, do not grow it in one place for more than four years, and then transplant to a new place. Many gardeners are aware of this.

Method one - planting in the fall

In the new place in the autumn it is best to plant raspberries after potatoes, onions or tomatoes. Pits for planting are prepared in advance, in fact, a year before planting. At the end of July, it is necessary to dig holes half a meter in depth, width and length. The gap between them should be about the same as their width. Each landing pit should be filled with a bucket of rotted manure, compacted, covered with earth from above. Preliminary, it is advisable to fertilize the earth: 35-40 grams of ammophos, 10 grams of potassium salt or 60-80 grams of wood ash.

The following year we select from the bushes at the end of July and the first half of August, replace shoots or well-developed raspberry offsprings are transplanted to the prepared places taking into account the features of planting described above. After planting, care for raspberries such: the tops of each plant should be cut only 10-15 cm. It is advisable to tie the plants to a peg or trellis. Pour plenty of water into each well( 6-8 liters).A day or two or three raspberry saplings are useful for fertilizing with straw straw rabbit or any other organic fertilizer.

Method two - landing in the spring

After harvesting, remove the raspberry stalks from the crop, leaving only 1-2 shoots of replacement. In order for them to develop well by the end of the growing season, young shoots must be systematically removed. It is advisable to pierce the ground between the rows of raspberries, spud the bushes, and tie the plants to the trellis. In the soil before hilling should be made dung mulch. If autumn has stood out dry, then the bushes from time to time will have to be watered well.

In the spring, with the onset of heat, the soil with which the raspberry bushes were piled should be leveled, slightly spilled between its rows. As in the first method of planting, the tops of the shoots should be cut to 10-15 cm, and damaged to a healthy place. When the first leaflets unfold, grow a couple of centimeters, around the bush, cut the roots with a full bayonet of a spade and carefully pull the bush out of the ground. Without damaging the young shoots, rhizomes, remove the remnants of old stems. Dip the roots of raspberry bushes in a clay mash. In the pits prepared in the fall in the manner described above planting, plant young plants. In the autumn and spring, take care of the soil, watering the bushes, removing weeds, mulching the ground.


As practice shows, if we compare these two methods of planting and transplanting, then in areas where raspberries were planted with already formed leaves, the yield is much higher.
