You need to replace raspberries every 10 years, mine were planted 10 years ago and are pretty rubbish now (they are Autumn Bliss).

How can you plant them in the same place as before or is it impossible?

I,'ve just this afternoon planted new canes for the very same reason. Mine have been producing less for the last couple of years so I bought 6 each of Glen Ample, Joan J and Malling Minerva. Hopefully to get a supply from summer to the end of autumn.

Mine have gone into another area of ground to hopefully avoid any virus left in the earth.

I've laid cardboard I've been collecting between the canes and covered with bark chippings. This really helped keep the weeds at bay with the last raspberries and didn't stop them from spreading. Here's to lot's of jam in a couple of years.

Sadly I don't have the space anywhere else.
