lots of care. I have acid soil, and still, I never had luck with them.
If you really insist on making a fence of edible berries (a good idea,
in principle) there are many more small fruits that you could consider,
depending on soil and location. Look at ediblelandscaping.com, then
perhaps call them, describe soil and location and they will give you
something. Or just look at what grows around your area. In my case, the
blackberries and five of my eight Concord vines were wolunteers.
