That is why many people prefer to grow berries themselves in their country plots.

But in order to obtain abundant fruiting, it is necessary to remember about care.

Raspberries, like any fruit crop, need fertilizing.

It is important to know when exactly to apply fertilizers so that the feeding is effective. This is especially important in the spring.
