Hi Gardener Scott, it's a great problem / free plants to have. I do the same with my Raspberries, you never have to worry about losing them as a crop. I moved mine a few years ago by this method, on top of that at my allotment they've been sprouting up for over 3 years in places I never grew them, the previous Tennant did :) The Blackberries are so easy too, as you will know, a couple of the branches touch the floor, then they start to root and you just wait till the growth is good, snip them, pot them up and again free plants. All the best from the south of England, John
This is really timely for me. I have just started six blackberry plants in a raised bed. They are supposed to be the "patio variety" - well, we shall see. I lined the bed underneath with cardboard, but I know that will not stop the roots. Right now they look to be busting with health. The flowers are huge. Hoping for the best.
I planted in raised beds last year thinking I could contain them to one end. Not only are the 4-foot by 8-foot beds getting full but they reached out underneath and are filling out in-between
@stevegermain1222 I have 4x8' beds also. Going to plant raspberries this spring. How deep are your beds? Mine are 22" high. I'm hoping they'll stay in the beds. TIA.
Our raspberries have been prolific, but not our blackberries. Thornless patio also. First year, proper berries didn't form. Some mishapen ones but not edible. Last year, we got two blackberries. This year, the plants look much healthier and lots of blossoms. Praying for an abundant harvest for myself and all!
I started my heritage red raspberries last year. ALL 10 of them survived over winter. Looking forward to some propagation. Thank you for the excellent video.
I’m closing off a part of my goats pasture right on my property line to put in a raspberry bed. It’s going to be roughly 50x50 foot. There are a couple of oaks behind it that drop a bunch of leaves every year that has created a thick mulch. It get sun most of the day so I think it will be an awesome place for them. I bought 5 bare root plants and all but 1 of them died. I think they were 3 or 4 different varieties.
Another great video with a clear explanation of how it’s done. I have a hedge of raspberries and blackberries around my garden which act as a deterrent to deer. Canes on the outside, fence/ trellis, chicken mote, garden path, garden bed. The way that I keep the raspberries from propagating out into the grass is to spade/edge the entire border. Then I dig up, pot and transplant, give away, sell the plants that have crossed the border. The chickens contain the raspberries on the opposite side. That keeps the raspberries in their bed. Works for me.
Since I mainly do container gardening, its easier to stop plants that spread over time. I have dwarf raspberry and blackberry plants in 27 gallon pots.
We used to have raspberries when we first moved to our property. Sadly at the time I didn't know how to maintain them. I plan on getting more. Good video!
I love Heritage Raspberry plants! We got 7 plants a few years ago. This spring they started sending out shoots. My friend & I dug up most of them & they now live in her garden. I did add several to our patch. I love picking & trying not to eat them before they get to the house!
these videos are so informative. Thank you. I see you have a Rectec grill...I bought mine about 2 years ago, I only wish I had purchased a larger model.
Very useful information! I did the same with my ruspberry and I noticed that the plants put near the garlic and onion grew more healthy! Greentings from Mangalia resort, on the Black Sea coast of Romania!
Perfect timing. My first thornless blackberries just spouted which I assume will be simeler. This reminds me of strawberries, which I've had a couple years now, but with increased difficulty. The strawberry runners are above ground and usually are easy to uproot, esp in mulch, however these raspberries actually spread from the mother root system itself. Appreciate the knowledge!
Great video! We thought we were being wise and started our bed of red raspberries 4-5 feet away from our raised beds. Ha Ha on us. The roots went down under the weed-free pathway between the beds and now we need to do some serious digging to remove them from our raised garden beds! It's a good problem to have.
I put my raspberries in a planter that became shaded intending to train them up and out like the grapes i also have there but of course raspberry puts up new canes so its now stuck in the shade so.....moving the whole deal to the south side of my north fence so i get lots of berries in the sun and im putting the thornless blackberries along the walkway next to the adjascent fence to harness all that sun without thorns on the walk.
Very nice patch and thanks for the video Gardener Scott. My heritage plant is in its 2nd year and fruiting very nicely. I am so glad for the fruit. I need to follow your plan of action for my thornless blackberry plant that is growing in areas, where I don't want it to go.
My raspberries are out of control (I’ve been sick) they have filled my nearby raised garden bed and they have grown under the fence the are planted in front of and are starting to take over areas of the yard. Look like I have a lot of digging in my future
Love your raspberry video! Question...is it possible to successfully contain these in a bed by using some type of root barrier? If so, what would be the most effective barrier and how deep should it be? I love your channel and I'm a regular viewer. Thank you!
That looks like a lot of work. I planted some few years back and they didn't take believe it or not. I'm trying again this year and if they spread --Yippee! If I had limited space I think I would bury a barrier. You have a monster on your hands when it heads to the asparagus😁
Mine are sending up canes into my lawn. I mow them down, and thankfully I'm not one of those types that is obsessed with having a golf course type lawn.
Wow crazy Dusty Flats, I tried planting raspberries at my last place 3 times and 3 different ways and they never took. You are the only other person that seems to have had this issue. Before that I had a big patch of raspberries that were amazing but I didn't have to worry about them much. Like one of these other commenters, I just mowed over whatever raspberries were escaping their spot. I took a bunch of suckers from that first place to our now place and I am so excited that they are growing!! They are 'thornless' and they get so big and sweet and don't have as many tiny seeds.
@@juanitaglenn9042 yes, I don't know why, probably too dry where I had them. Our soil needs a lot of amendments. Mine were not thornless and were starts from a garden that had clay soil not sand like mine--probably went into shock with our dust🤣 we have wild Blackcaps here but they grow under trees and do very well.
@@alicias9928 ill trade you my plaintan lily leafed hostas in the lawn for edible rasberries?🤣 I swear i will never get rid of them, they are like quack grass.
Blackberries tend to grow a little different and propagating by bending the cane to the ground is more typical. They can spread, but usually not as much as raspberries.
Hey Scott I've been following you a couple years now. I recently heard that you shouldn't plant blackberries near raspberries due to disease problems what's your thought on that
If you have bramble diseases in your garden that is a concern. I don't have any diseases and am not as worried that planting different types will spread disease to another.
Hi Scott, what's the best way to prevent propagation of raspberries? One could use containers, but my thought for a garden bed is to dig a 1.5' trench around my raspberry bush and line it with landscape fabric.
Heritage raspberries for the win! :) Do they cross-pollinate, if they're too close to other cultivars? (I've a tiny urban backyard and would LOVE to add black raspberries to my Heritage patch for variety.)
Wonderful! I was about to transplant very small rasberry plants I found in the wild. Now I know how to. Do you recommend plants from the wild or are store bought better
I've got several other plants in large deep pots in the ground that have the bottoms cut out. They keep mint from spreading to where I don't want them. Can I do the same with raspberries?
Hi Scott ! My raspberries dont send rootstocks at all , is that because of they are just planted past yaer ? Or because they are surrounded with grasses, or do that depend on my zone 8a ?
I’m living now on an old farm acreage that has a very large overgrown raspberry bed. The dead Canes are sometimes 8feet and very sprawly. Any suggestions for maintenance this year and in the future?
It depends on the variety, but some raspberries like mine can be cut to the ground in winter and provide a crop the next year. Mowing down a bed like that can help keep things manageable.
Is that log you showed at the edge of your bed meant to contain the raspberries? I just bought a house that has 40 feet of raspberries, right outside a grand picture window. Not the view I want! I plan to move them to another part of the yard. I am wondering if I can bury some sort of barrier (log, cinderblock, etc) to stop them from going into my neighbor's yard. My neighbor is gung ho on Round Up, and I don't want my raspberries killed. Do you have a video on pruning raspberries? I want to make sure I'm dealing with mine properly.
The log is to edge the path and set where I want the bed to end. The raspberries can grow under it so I'll need to control them in that area next year. A pruning video is coming in the future.
My back yard garden borders his. He said he would be sure not to spray near the garden,but after I explained to him the many dangers. He said he would not use it anymore 😔
I read that black raspberry it is supposed to be planted at least 75 feet from red and yellow raspberry. In your experience it is not the case? Thanks.
That recommendation is because black raspberries can be more susceptible to disease. If the berries are healthy and no disease is present (like in my garden) it shouldn't be a problem.
I'm confused, my raspberries stand over 6' tall. I support them on wires, bending the tops over. They behave the same as yours with the runners but mine are much taller than yours.
How deep do you suggest in planting I have heavy clay soil so I need to use raised beds. How deep of a box do I need? My original plant I turned in 30 feet of bushes. But moved now I have this terrible clay soil to deal with Thank you
It depends on what you want to grow. For most vegetable garden plants a minimum of eight inches will work. My raised beds are 15-20 inches and I can grow anything I want.
So far I try to mound my trees, shrubs, bushes and other perennial types and I have raised beds for my annuals. Clay is so hard to deal with!! So I will dig a slight hole or trench and throw compost, bone meal, manure, etc in the indention. Then i place the plant on top or poke it into the mound if it's a raspberry cane or rhizome type or whatever. Fill around the whole plant with more compost and soil. Then I landscape fabric or newspaper or cardboard depending on what's available and if the plant will spread or not. Mulch like crazy. At this point you would have a mound sticking up so its like a raised bed but I still consider it 'in ground' and the clay tends to hold water in that spot so I wouldn't have to water as much but the plant is sitting on top so the roots don't get too soggy. Hope this helps? 🤷♀️
I have mine in 16 inch tall beds to try and prevent them from spreading past the bed. We have heavy clay soil also and there are wild blackberries nearby that grow in it, they just do not spread as fast.
I'm sorry to comment off topic, but I don't know how to reach you. We are in a similar climate, but I'm in Idaho. You have metal raised beds. Do you think asparagus would survive the winter in metal raised beds? I like how tall metal raised beds are, I'm not getting any younger. However, I don't want to winter kill asparagus when it should last 20 years.
@@GardenerScott I watched your video comparing soil temp in the summer, so I know they are okay then. I am more concerned about them making it through the winter. I worry that a perennial might become an annual in a raised bed.
Yeah, I think mine may be beyond my control. _Dangerous Liasons With Canes._ I had to laugh that you were so worried about your main canes. My hedgerow has been going for nearly twenty years now. Nothing will kill them. They bear twice a year, too. You need berries?
My cats destroy raspberry plants.
So I made them a catnip garden.
Hahaha they stay so high in the catnip they forget about the raspberries. 😁
That’s a great idea!
😹 👍
Thanks Jeff Bridges I mean Scott!
Hey Scott! Just wanted to share that you’re one of my regular contents that watch/hear while I do my night jogs.
Thanks, Keith!
@@GardenerScotthello, is there a difference in taste between the yellow, black and the common red?
Perfect timing. My raspberries are going in every possible direction, time to clean them up.
Thanks Scott.
Hi Gardener Scott, it's a great problem / free plants to have. I do the same with my Raspberries, you never have to worry about losing them as a crop.

My best raspberry patch is under my oak trees. My other bed is in full sun and does not do as well.
This is a benefit, because of the extra raspberry plants. Cheers, Scott! ✌️
Great job Scott, very helpful. I'm excited to hear how your yellow and black raspberries work for you- and taste.

Thanks! I’ll be putting a raspberry start in the ground (hopefully) this week. Now, I know how to keep them under control when the time comes.
yellow are my favorites~! I replant the sprouts in the row to fill it in and give to my son and his wife all the extras
I have never tried to grow raspberries. Great lesson. TFS 👍🌱
Since I mainly do container gardening, its easier to stop plants that spread over time. I have dwarf raspberry and blackberry plants in 27 gallon pots.

Hi Scott you have helped me for years now thank you.
We used to have raspberries when we first moved to our property. Sadly at the time I didn't know how to maintain them. I plan on getting more. Good video!
Timely film. I will move my raspberries to an area where they can roam without trouble. Switzerland
My Heritage plants died off. Thanks for this video. I’ll try again. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA - 6/1/2022.

It is possible, but they will work hard to escape. I use livestock animal troughs with holes drilled in the bottom for my plants that can escape.
Love raspberries , but they are a lot of maintenence and can take over .
Interesting. Great info.

How well can I grow wild blackjack berries if I was to try to propagate those.
It depends on your climate and soil. Check with a local nursery to see if they recommend it in your area.

You can use containers. A deep trench can work, but it is possible that the roots can grow under the landscape fabric to the other side.
My raspberries have grown up through landscape fabric covered by several inches of compacted gravel. I would suggest something even more solid.
Heritage raspberries for the win! :) Do they cross-pollinate, if they're too close to other cultivars? (I've a tiny urban backyard and would LOVE to add black raspberries to my Heritage patch for variety.)
They can cross pollinate, but that won't affect the flavor or color of the different raspberries.
@@GardenerScott Then I'll look into adding some. Hooray! Thanks so much for your input.
Wonderful! I was about to transplant very small rasberry plants I found in the wild. Now I know how to. Do you recommend plants from the wild or are store bought better
Plants from nurseries are usually good for typical garden soils. Wild berries may be in soil different from that and don't always do as well.
Thank you
I've got several other plants in large deep pots in the ground that have the bottoms cut out.
They keep mint from spreading to where I don't want them.
Can I do the same with raspberries?
It might work if they're deep. Raspberry roots can grow deeply and work hard to escape.
Could you use comfrey around your raspberries to keep them confined?
The raspberries will probably grow around or through the comfrey.
Hi Scott ! My raspberries dont send rootstocks at all , is that because of they are just planted past yaer ? Or because they are surrounded with grasses, or do that depend on my zone 8a ?
It's probably because they are just one year old. It takes a few years before they spread.
My raspberries fruit much of the summer and they aren’t short like yours. Is that just climate? I’m north west of you in the Kootenays of BC.
It is still early in the season for me so they are just starting to grow. By summer's end they will be 4-5 ft tall.
I’m living now on an old farm acreage that has a very large overgrown raspberry bed. The dead Canes are sometimes 8feet and very sprawly. Any suggestions for maintenance this year and in the future?
