Plant in the garden

1. The first thing to do is prepare the ground , removing any wild grass and stones that may be present.
2. Afterwards, a 3-5cm thick layer of organic fertilizer should be added , such as chicken manure for example.
3. It is then mixed well with the garden soil with a rake.
4. Once done, you have to make the trenches which must be in rows , separated from each other by about 20-30cm.
5. Then, the drip irrigation system is installed .
6. Now, the raspberries are planted so that they are 15-20cm apart from each other.
7. Finally, the irrigation system is started .

Plant in a pot

1. If you want to have raspberries in a pot , it is important that the pot is large , at least 30cm in diameter and deep.
2. When you have it, you have to fill it with universal culture substrate mixed with 30% perlite up to a little more than half.
3. The plant is then placed in the center . In the event that it remains above the edge of the pot, a little substrate will be removed; if, on the other hand, it is below, soil must be added until it is just 1 or 2cm below.
4. Finally, it is finished filling and watering .

Enjoy your raspberry 🙂 .
