When can I move my raspberry bushes?
« on: December 06, 2012, 11:01 »
I have way too many raspberry bushes on my new plot. I am going to give most of them to my fellow plot holders but keep some and move them to a different location. I know that autumn is the preferred time to do this but the soil is so wet. Can I move them in March when hopefully the weather is better?

I would wait until Feb/March and make sure you get a good bit of soil round the rootball. There is a longer thread on this if you do a search , its from a couple of years ago.
Taken over neglected veg garden at new home. Enemy number 1 Ground Elder. Then there is the furry terror - bunnies - to contend with!
Made a start have beds established but moved in too late for serious planting. We shall see what 2015 brings.

They may have started to grow again by March.

I'd move them as soon as the soil allows ; )

Make sure you put some new compost round the roots when you plant them out. They'll get away better then.
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

And put a handful of bonemeal in the planting hole.
