First, we need to figure out the planting dates.

Experts note that the period from mid-April to May is excellent for planting. It is important to do it before the buds open.

As for the planting site, it is necessary to consider that if it is sunny, then frequent watering is important. If you want to reduce the number of procedures, then the shade will do.

The soil should be prepared in the fall. It is advisable to add humus or rotted manure.

Potatoes and tomatoes should not grow on the plot before this. They are bad predecessors.

If we consider the planting process itself, the hole should be spacious so that the roots can easily enter it. But the root collar should remain at ground level.

After this, you can water the plantings. Each plant requires about two liters of water. Then you can mulch the raspberry patch.

You shouldn't expect a harvest in the first year. You need to prune it so that the root system develops well.
