Loosen raspberries or not

Your raspberries I'm not loose, intuitive. Put mulch, weeds hands are removed. Well, the age you live, age learn, learned something new and I knew right: I do not friable!

New that learned

Breeder brought a large variety of sweet raspberries remontant. Usual remontant raspberry gives little shoots of substitution, and these varieties are special. They have a lot of and replacement shoots and fruiting shoots (with proper care).

Advertises their breeder and says: it is not necessary to loosen. Otherwise, it produces a lot of shoots, and it and so much on these varieties.

Root at his raspberry applies to 1, 5 meters in all directions. In the usual raspberries up to 3 m.

Growth and replacement of escape, what is the difference

Introducing, here grows a seedling raspberries, which we have just planted. Shoots of substitution are formed next to him. A shoots at a distance of, say, 30 cm. Growth can become self-bush, a competitor of our seedlings, juices pulls any more weed. A substitution of escape - a native son.

So these new varieties remontant fetus and sons, and competitors. With good nutrition and watering, all missing. Crop of fruiting in the year of planting is not worse than the replacement shoots.

Part shoots still clean. And the Council prikopat slate limit raspberry bushes such other varieties.

Dirt and water recommend 1.5 m in all directions from the main bush. That competitors eat their own food, instead of eating the mother bush. In advertising, it certainly sounded different, but it is also correct: it is necessary to fertilize and water the entire area to the berries were sweet and normal density.

What I concluded

For remontant raspberries so the root system is not typical, it is an achievement of breeding. But it is characteristic of the usual raspberries. It is believed that at a depth of 10 cm in the uppermost roots of raspberry. I noticed that they are often much higher. So that's like a raspberry roots respond to injury! Breed without measure.

It turns out that loosen raspberries, this self-harm.

And what is your opinion?

I would be grateful for a subscription and chat :)
