It is advisable to replant raspberry bushes every five years.

If fruiting is not affected, the procedure can be postponed for several years.

It is better to carry out such an agricultural measure in the spring, but before the buds open.

It is important to choose the right place for raspberries, which is well lit and without drafts.

The soil acidity should be neutral.

It is necessary to prepare the planting hole in advance.

When replanting in spring, the soil should contain nitrogen fertilizer (urea or ammonium nitrate). Phosphorus (superphosphate) and potassium are also necessary (wood ash is suitable in this case).

In addition, crop rotation rules must be taken into account.

Raspberries should not be planted after strawberries or potatoes. It is also important to remember the proximity of the crop to other plants. Experienced gardeners say that raspberries should not be placed next to currants or gooseberries.
