raspberrys, strawberrys blueberry and gooseberry
« on: November 17, 2011, 16:15 »
Hi all i am planting these at the weekend my plot has a lot of clay in it. Would it be ok to mix horse manure with my clay soil about 50 percent clay and manure to plant them in.

thanks

You need to read up about blueberries - Google for it. They need acid conditions, so many plant them in pots in ericaeous compost.

Here is a link to one site

Others will advise about raspberries and gooseberies.

JohnB, I have edited your post to remove the copy and paste which you'd done and to replace it with the link.  For copyright reasons it's best not to just copy and paste without the proper citation, and for reasons related to the site itself we prefer the link without the text.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

OK, no probs. Actually I thought it best not to put the link on, in case it was thought that I was somehow promoting that site. (It's a difficult life for some of us :unsure:)
