Gardeners consider raspberries to be a popular plant and not particularly demanding.
However, if you do not follow simple care rules, raspberries will grow and bear fruit poorly.
You will have to prepare the soil for the raspberry bush, and then trim and water the bushes. With poor care, poor nutrition and lack of timely watering, the berries will be small and tasteless.
There is one more nuance that can affect the yield of raspberries - the wrong neighborhood.
Birch
Can be found in many areas. Birch, as well as irga and plum, including conifers, will negatively affect raspberry patches.
The plants dry out the soil a lot, as they are big water drinkers. In such conditions, it will be difficult for raspberries to grow large berries.
Strawberry
The two plants have a common pest – the weevil. It is best to place the strawberry beds away from the raspberry patch. In addition, the root systems of the plants can compete for nutrition and moisture.
Sea buckthorn
Raspberries will not feel comfortable next to sea buckthorn. The plants' confrontation for nutrition and moisture will lead to a poor harvest.
