Dear Jim,
What are your recommendations for planting raspberries? Would you use the 18 inch bed configuration? How far apart would you put each cane? Also, would you recommend using the pre-plant more than once in a season and how do you use it in established beds?
Thank you.

Seedplanter_max & Group:

I would plant raspberries 12" apart in 2 rows in a bed or box. One application of Pre-Plant Mix should be sufficient. New canes will come up in between the established plants, and you will be best served by thinning them after three years or so.

In an established bed I would apply it to the soil between plants and work it into the soil as much as possible without damaging stems or roots. The reason it is best to get it into the soil is that calcium does not move far in the soil.
