Do everyone remember fragrament and sweet raspberry berries? Probably all. But but few people know that Raspberries can become a gardener nightmare. And this is really so. This useful fruiting shrub can also flood the garden and a garden, and even bring the roots under the fence or foundation.
In fact, raspberries recently became a cultivated plant, compared with similar to it. And all because wild thickets of raspberries are good fruit and give no less sweet, and almost the same large, berry. So it was not necessary for people to domesticated raspberries, you could always go to the forest and to gain berries, without applying labor.
But from the moment she began to grow near the housing, and later and to engage in breeding, they found one feature. From the roots of raspberries, several root offspring are departed every year, which germinate with independent shoots near the parent plant. But since the raspberries are planting not in one bush, but immediately planted a certain area, then the number of siblings is appropriate. And they diverge on the parties they are underground, which does not allow to track the direction of root shoots. Here why raspberries grow up.
Raspberry measures
The very first thing to do before landing is to dig a trench in a place allotted under raspberry, half the meter at least. This trench at the bottom you need to easily easily, lay the fertile soil taking into account many years of the future harvest.
In the same trench itself, then pour a layer of ordinary earth. It is necessary so that the root siblings do not pull the nutrients from the soil intended for the main plant.
The depth of the root siblings is not more than twenty five centimeters. Therefore, harvest forty or fifty half-meter barriers. Material Choose any healthy, it can be slate, iron sheets, etc.
These barriers need to be installed on the sides of the trench, into which raspberry subsequently plant. Bloat barriers not to the end, leave seven or eight centimeters above the ground. The depths of the barrier in thirty centimeters is quite enough.
These barriers will not give root offspring to germinate further distance. And the sides left on the surface are very comfortable when watering and ground raspberry.
Use the simple ideas of experienced gardeners, and the "scorched raspberry" will cease to appear in your nightmares.
