You could always use a mulch of bark a few inches thick around the
base to keep the weeds down.
Take a litr bottle, fill it with Black currants (Raspberries,
Loganberries Blackberries etc) add a couple of tablespoons of suggar
then fill with Vodka, shake well, add more vodka if there is room,
then leave for a few months Shaking it every week or so.
After a few months you will have quite a drink.
WARNING
When you drain the drink off the fruit remember that the fruit still
contains almost pure vodka.
I did this once with Loganberies, and made a flan from the fruit, Wow!
what a kick.



That sounds like a good recipe to keep!
