How to grow raspberries on logs

There are different ways to grow raspberries. Let's try to grow the berries on the logs. In this unusual way, there are pros and cons. On the Internet you can find various reviews.

The method

Autumn shallow trench is dug around 2 bayonet shovels and 1.2 meters in width. Length you choose yourself. Then there laid the old cut tree branches, old rotten logs and stumps, as they are absorbent. By the way, a good way to get rid of old junk.

Next log backfilled thin layer of normal earth. Top last watered with a hose for impregnating timber. A top layer is poured fertile soil 30 cm (raspberry likes organics). It turns a small hill. It is in this layer (and below), and will dwell in the roots of the bush. After filling the trench fertile soil planted raspberry every 50 cm, then mulching bushes.

In this case, the old logs and branches need to accumulate moisture. They gradually become impregnated with moisture after rain and irrigation, and then give it to plants. You do not need to be watered often under every bush.

But it is not only in the accumulation of moisture. Raspberries are very effectively used for the batteries of the decaying logs and branches, and the bush does not require any additional fertilizing.

Thus, the essence of this method lies in the fact that less care for raspberries.
