Too many raspberries

along. It's nigh on impossible to contain Raspberries and they will come up anywhere and everywhere, growing twenty feet from the parent plant with no distinction between lawn, paving or the neighbour's lawn! So, what to do about this? Some gardeners mow by Blueboots

composting

but the blackberries seem to love it. There are lots of conflicting articles on using ash in the garden (I think it depends on what your growing and what your soil ph is. On the subject of ivy and moss, I never put them into compost as I'm not 100% sure of any by nightgarden

No apples and few crab apples.... :(

Last year our John Downie had lots of lovely fruit. We used most of it in jam-making with blackberries, elderberries, sloes and other woodland fruits. Some was even tasty enough to eat raw. We were looking forward to a similar crop this year by wisehedgecrone

Fruit cages - DIY options?

We have raspberries, blackcurrants and blackberries (we think!) growing at a rate of knots in a large patch measuring about 8x13 feet in our garden. We have been warned that birds are likely to eat the lot if we don't get them covered before by green fingered finch
