To prevent raspberries from spreading all over the garden plot, summer residents usually dig in barriers around the perimeter of the raspberry patch.
But, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , there is an easier way - to resort to the help of plants.
We will tell you about three of them that have the ability to inhibit the growth of raspberries.
Metlitsa
This weed is probably familiar to every gardener. Due to its highly developed root system, it will not be difficult for the broom to prevent the growth of raspberries, because its roots fill almost every centimeter of the ground, leaving no chance for raspberry shoots.
But it’s unlikely that any gardener would want to sow his property with weeds.
Green beans
On the roots of green beans, you can find nodule bacteria. Their job is to saturate the soil with nitrogen, and this substance, as is known, can stop the growth of raspberry shoots.
Sorrel
The secret of sorrel is in its branched taproot. If you want to prevent raspberries from getting through such a green barrier, you will need to form a wide bed of sorrel – at least 30 cm.
