Raspberry Plants In Your Backyard Will Provide Wonderful Berries That Can Be Eaten Fresh Or Used In Pies And Jam

It's possible to grow raspberry plants under a variety of conditions, although they thrive best under full sun on non-alkaline, fertile loam soil. During the colder months of the year where they have no natural protection, it is advisable to provide some form of artificial protection.

Even though a well-drained soil is a must for good results, a sandy soil requires a lot of organic matter incorporated in preparation. Raspberries require a plentiful supply of moisture during the entire growing season. The berries are extremely versatile and can be eaten as fresh fruit, and used in preserves, pies and pastries.

They take up very little little space producing crops the 2nd season after planting. Birds in particular love the fruit, so bird netting should be used unless you want to share your harvest.
