Many people try to plant raspberries in their garden, as this will allow them to enjoy a tasty and healthy product.
However, there are a number of important nuances that are worth considering.
Therefore, it is worth familiarizing yourself with a number of key points related to planting raspberries, noted Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, a landscape designer and agronomist.
How to plant raspberries correctly
Find a worthy place for the bush
First of all, it is worth analyzing whether there will be enough light, as it is necessary for the full development of the bush.
Secondly, make sure that the place is not exposed to strong drafts and gusty winds.
Predecessors
Not every summer resident has an empty place for raspberries: in most cases, some plantings have already been done. Therefore, green manure, garlic, zucchini, cucumbers, and onions are good options for raspberries.
But it is absolutely not worth planting raspberries after strawberries or potatoes.
Soil quality
First of all, you need to familiarize yourself with the acidity indicators. They should be neutral. The soil should not be too dense.
The shrub feels good on loam. Sandy loam soil may also be suitable.
Top dressing
It is recommended to prepare the soil in advance. For this, take 7 kilograms of compost per square meter. Humus in the same volume will also do.
The soil is enriched with superphosphate: 30 grams of fertilizer are added per square meter. For the same plot of land, you can take 20 grams of potassium sulfate.
You can also take half a glass of bone meal and ash.
