These tips apply to regular, and large fruit varieties. Not necessarily accurately follow each recommendation. Just try what is comfortable for you - the result will certainly be positive! But the maximum effect can be achieved only with complex measures. Have free time - go for it! :)
1. Grow raspberry trellis. The only way to get huge berries and abundant harvest. Gardeners say that it increases by 7 times. It is foolish to neglect the advice, because install poles and pull wire - not so difficult.
2. Regularly prune raspberries. The plant does not degenerate, but run it to the poor state of its possible omission. Remove old, dry, weak shoots and those just branches that you do not like. Periodically visit with sharp shears in your raspberry patch!
3. Bandwidth raspberry should be about 30 cm and the roots should be overgrown. Only in this way the plants enough highlights. And the sun's rays - one of the keys to the large and sweet berries.
4. Pamper planting fertilizers. I recommend mineral potash salt and superphosphate. We use them to package directions. From the organic solution is highly useful weak chicken manure or wood ash.
Have a good harvest! Surprise yourself and neighbors! If the record was interested, please put up your finger on it.
