Many summer residents dream of a large quantity of sweet berries – raspberries.
In order to be able to collect a rich harvest in buckets, you need to perform certain actions.
An expert of the MOS SMI portal, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh will tell you what needs to be done.
Selecting a location
Raspberries feel good in a spacious place, so they do not need to be planted close to other plantings.
The bush also needs sunlight, which affects the development of the fruit.
Trimming
Once the tops of the raspberries reach a height of 1 meter, you need to resort to removing the tops by 5 cm. After this, the shoots should be removed in the spring of the following year. Then such actions should be performed annually.
Watering
Raspberries love moisture, so you need to pay special attention to watering. If the water does not reach the roots, the fruits will not be of a good size.
Top dressing
Raspberries, like other shrubs, need fertilizer.
Ash or urea are good fertilizers. To maintain a good harvest, they should be applied at the beginning of summer. If you want to stimulate the development of shoots, it is better to fertilize raspberries in the second half.
By following these tips, you can get a rich harvest of raspberries.
