I have the opposite experience. Autumn raspberries are copious, large, dark and worm free. They are grown on thin stony soil and I give them nothing but the occasional scattering of wood ash, and water them only in desperately dry conditions. You are supposed to replant raspberries every 10 years or so, but I bought these about 25 years ago and have never renewed them, even took some with me when I moved house. They did even better in the clay-and-flints-and-utter-neglect of my previous house.
