Mix general fertiliser with the infill soil. Water regularly until established. Autumn fruiting raspberries can be grown without support but may need a cane or two if the crop is large


Fruit is produced on the current seasons cane.  Cut all canes to ground level in the winter.  Keep rows 60cm (2ft) wide by removing unwanted cane in the Spring. A few canes can be left to give a summer crop, which should then be pruned out straight after fruiting. Apply a top dressing of well rotted manure annually.
