Balckberries where raspberries grew
Do you think it is OK to plant blackberries where we have had raspberries
growing the last 6-7 years?
The raspberries have probably reached there natural life span, we have had
gradually decreasing crops and this year the plants are looking decidedly
unhealthy. Malling jewel I think is the variety and we have fed and mulched
etc every year.
I will dig up and burn the roots of the raspberries and fill the trenches
with compost before planting a thornless blackberry of some kind in the
Autumn.
