A natural, safe and free fertilizer that will inevitably lead to a gorgeous raspberry harvest.
The plant needs light and nutritious soil. Only in this case can you expect abundant fruiting of the bushes.
To ensure that the raspberry bush receives a whole mountain of nutrients, apples are buried next to it.
Many summer residents do not know what to do with fallen fruit. One thing is clear - fallen fruit must be removed in any case. Otherwise, a favorable environment for pests and pathogens will be created.
Gardeners collect rotten fallen fruit, load it onto a wheelbarrow and take it to the raspberry patch. There they dig 15-20 cm deep grooves along the plantings.
Apples are poured in, a little ash is added, a little water is poured in and it is buried. The roots of the bushes growing on the edge of the raspberry patch will reach the fertilizer.
You won't be able to do this in the raspberry patch itself, because you can seriously damage the root system. It is not even recommended to dig and loosen the soil by 3-5 cm. Raspberry roots do not go deep, but are on the surface, so it is important to be careful not to harm the bushes.
