Particularly carefully select seedlings so that they are healthy and intact. Let's consider in more detail the entire preparatory stage.

An important stage before landing is the preparation of the soil. Malina prefers fertile soils well drained. If sandy or peat soils predominate on your site, then the annual motion is necessary.
The acidity of the soil must be neutral. Soil for planting needs to be prepared in advance. If you sit in the fall - at least a month, if in the spring it is necessary to prepare in the fall. During the preparation, you must carefully disappear with the soil and make humus and mineral fertilizers.

- If you decide to plant two rows of raspberries, make a height 1.7 m, since the raspberry grows.
- If you have not made a fertilizer when preparing the soil, it is added to the already dug hole. For this, be sure to mix humid and mineral fertilizers, ash and superphosphate with soil.
- Abundant sprinkle trenches and holes with water - at least 2.5 liters per one.
- Before boarding seedlings. Place the roots of seedlings in the clay tank.
- When the pit is ready, you can plant seedlings. Deliver them for 2-3 cm below the root neck.
- Plush the earth and slightly tumped by hands.

If you used a trench method, it will be optimal to use a solar garter.

- Chlorosis of the raspberry. On infected plants, the leaves are becoming yellow and deformed.
Malina can be attributed to the following:
- Malnic beetle. They usually come out in mid-May. At the raspberry, the buds are eaten from the inside. An even greater harm is applied with larvae, which are postponed on young leaves and colors. They can lead to a decrease in the harvest and worm of berries.
- Stem fly. A small fly, which lays eggs in the sinuses of young leaves. The larvae makes the moves, thereby contributing to the drying of the plant.
- Kindle mole. This pest is harm to the kidneys, colors and stems.
When pest appear, all damaged stalks are trimmed and burned. Before the appearance of flowers, the raspberry bushes can be treated with a borofos. The autumn poppill of the earth under raspberry helps well. Thus, you destroy the larvae of flies and phones.
