\n
\n
Raspberries are notorious for their sprawling growth habit.\n
To prevent the canes from flopping over and to make harvesting easier, install a support system within the raised beds. This can be achieved using trellises, stakes, or a combination of both.\n
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the fruiting season.\n
Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as straw or wood chips, to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.\n
\n
Raspberries are heavy feeders and benefit from regular fertilization.\n
Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again after the first harvest to promote healthy growth and fruit production.\n
Prune raspberry canes annually to remove old, diseased, or weak growth and encourage new shoots.\n
Pruning also helps improve airflow and light penetration, which reduces the risk of disease.\n
Keep an eye out for common pests and diseases that can affect raspberries, such as aphids, spider mites, and powdery mildew.\n
Regularly inspect your plants and take appropriate measures, such as using insecticidal soap or neem oil, to prevent infestations.\n
With a little effort and attention to detail, you\u2019ll be enjoying a bountiful harvest of juicy, flavorful berries straight from your garden.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
