raspberries post and wire system
« on: April 22, 2013, 14:07 »
Hi, have planted some raspberry canes and have two posts in the ground on either side of the row. Now need to set up the wires:

what sort of wire should I use and whats the easiest way to fix it to the posts?

Thanks!

Easiest way ...

Wire and Vine Eyes

Make sure you support the wire with some good posts, there's a bit of weight on them especially when it's windy.

Classic single fence system, stretch wire between posts at two and half foot, three and a half foot and five and a half foot up from the ground. Brace the two end posts or they will get pulled in when the wires are tightened.
 :)

NB you didn't say, I assumed the posts are wood, if metal you would need straining bolts rather than vine eyes.
A weed is a plant that's in the wrong place and intends to stay

Or use cheapo washing line, tied with granny knots.   :)

It is really useful at the end of the season to be able to quickly remove the washing line which helps getting at them for  pruning
Sometimes my plants grow despite, not because of, what I do to them.

Thanks, they are wood so the vine eyes should do the job. Might have to brace the posts though...
