Step 5: Maintaining Plant Growth
Keeping a beautiful and successful garden going is about far more than just making sure that the plants take in the ground for their initial growth phase. The best gardens in the world are the ones that manage to sustain themselves and manage to function as an entire miniature ecosystem rather than just a collection of plants put together.
Maintaining plant growth is one of the most important factors for cultivating happy and fruitful raspberry plants. If you want to make sure that your raspberry plants can provide you with a harvest for years to come, make sure that your plants are happy throughout the year.
This involves testing the pH of the soil regularly and adjusting conditions as needed – you’re looking for a measurement of between 6 and 7.
It also involves regular pruning (more about this later) as well as protecting your raspberry plants against elements like a cold in the winter.
