Raspberries have an amazing ability to grow throughout the entire bed, but a large number of branches does not mean an increase in the yield.

In fact, everything happens the other way around.

The main mistake is that many people allow raspberries to grow uncontrollably.

Therefore, you need to do a simple action.

The biggest problem with raspberries

Raspberries should not be allowed to grow uncontrollably, forming large and unkempt thickets. New branches take up a lot of nutrients, which does not allow full-fledged fruits to form.

Summer residents do not understand that this problem requires a solution – the bushes will continue to spread.

However, destroying young growth is also not a good solution, since the bush will still continue to spread in the future.

Therefore, we do the following - we dig in boards and metal sheets around the perimeter of the raspberry patch to a depth of 50 cm. This will create a barrier that will not allow the root system to spread. An alternative to the barrier is planting lavender and sorrel.
