8. Arrangement and Planning
Putting together a successful garden with happy raspberry plants includes making sure that essential key factors like the water, nutrient levels and soil are right for the plant – but that’s not the only thing to consider when you first put your garden together.
Arrangement and planning are two of the most important things for novice gardeners to consider, and it can save you a lot of time in the long run if you decide what to plant where far before you do it.
Grab a pen and piece of paper to outline sections of the garden and what would grow best; mark which areas of the garden are getting access to the most sunlight, and write down which type of soil is predominantly available in that section. Also, spare a thought for how the wind travels through the garden and plants.
Often planning ahead is what makes the difference between a good garden and a great one.
