Fertilizing Raspberries - Garden Quickie Episode 140

- Do Raspberries Even Need Food? The short answer: sometimes! As a unique berry that is dormant for upwards of half the year, raspberries are only fed once per year, if that.
In today's Quickie, we'll look at when and why that is, as well as what should we be fertilizing with. Blink and you'll miss it, so maybe watch it twice! :-)
It feels just like yesterday I started this series. I've compiled an entire playlist of them here, check it out!: • Garden Quickies

During my winter prune, i shred up all the spent canes and use them as a top mulch, good feed as well 👍
Watching twice!
Ha ha atta boy Wayne! :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms thanks!!!!
@@waynesell3681 :-)
As always, short and sweet :)
I think it is a good idea to link one or two raspberry videos on top of the screen as well to make in case anybody is interested or wants to refresh their mind about how to prune raspberries or care for them (as an example).
Definitely! Great idea! :-)
Hey! As ALWAYS super helpful and this one just another good reminder regarding raspberries 👍👋
Hi Jeff. Have a great day. I'm still learning. Thank you ❤ 😊
Cheers Melinda, hope the week is going well! 🙂
This was so beautifully said. Thank you so much. I’m a reconstructing Christian and discovering forgiveness and love in my garden this year. Thank you for your wise words and insight. My husband and I were youth pastors and worship leaders for 14 years. We are now taking time for our immediate family and finding out Gods love for us in our next stage of life. We are now Happy grandparents of 3 kids that can run free though Nana’s garden and graze off of what is grown and harvested in the beauty of the backyard kitchen garden.
Thank you Jeff. Started my first Raspberry this spring. I bought some chicks and a few ducks, so much fun but very time consuming. I'm really nervous, its been a while since I've had a flock. Take care and have a great spring harvest.
Oh wow Naomi, you're going all in! Love it! Can't wait to hear how it all unfolds....
my husband did d fertilizing cuz our blueberries, raspberries and cherry trees are on d other side of our house, he did it 2 weeks ago and they're looking fantastic! next week, rain is in the forecast so perfect timing! ...
love your videos so much. I am lazy about pruning my everbearing and I simply cut the patch right down to the ground every winter and feed them in the spring. I don't get the early berries, but we have a bumper crop from mid July to the end of September (coastal BC), we get about a 2lb a day from our 15' row and the are the star of the garden. I planted marigolds and nasturtians around them this year, and I have a bag of saw dust innoculated with wine caps, apparently they live quiet well together.
Thanks Jeff!! I may give them another try. Good info as always. I shared your site with my niece who is a newby gardeners. I know she'll love you too. You make gardening sound and look so easy😊
Thanks Tess, much appreciated!! Yeah, they are similar to strawberries in terms of difficulty. Worth having a small patch as no other berry tastes like them! 🙂
Hi Jeff, thanks for the information, love your. Videos. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
I learn so much from you. Thanks Jeff!
Thank you ☺!
Cheers John...half way through the week man!
Here we are end of June. My raspberries are coming in but they are kinda small. I put horse dung on top of the soil in the spring hoping it would help😂
Thank you-- needed this@
Cheers Catherine! 🙂
I love these videos! Exactly what I need to know in an easy to understand manner.
Thank you
Cheers! 🙂
I am guilty of having neglected my ever-bearing raspberries over the last few years! I didn't even bother to cut the canes back until this spring, a couple of weeks ago. NOW, I hope I can treat them like they deserve, and give the row a good feeding and mulch to cut down the competition. We are going to be *NEEDING* the nutrition and sweetness they provide!! Thank you so much for the reminder.
Right on Karl. Let us know how they do for you this year!!!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Will do. They have always produced, but not spectacularly. Perhaps with just a little attention, they'll do much better! Happy gardening!
@@kbjerke definitely... Even a light pruning and thick mulching can make all the difference!
Jeff, I just discovered your channel and I love it. I'm in Ladysmith and it's nice to get advice from someone nearby.
Wonderful to watch your videos. So informative. I have seen a pepper growing segment in the DIY Garden series. They use an entire pepper to grow a plant, my question is this, they rub the pepper on a cut grape and then they use a white paste from a tube on the pepper as well. Then it's planted. Would you know what the white paste could be? It looks like toothpaste but not sure. No one can figure it out and they never answer the question. Maybe you have an idea of what it is? Thank you for all your work helping the rest of us.
Do you have a video on pruning raspberries? I never know which ones to cut, so end up doing nothing.
You betcha... ua-cam.com/video/wQcSRwFpFOc/v-deo.html
Jeff, I’m not growing any berries, be it strawberries, blackberries, or blueberries. But, I watch anyway because I don’t want neighbors to be one up on me! I’ll be watching’.
I have wild black strawberry plants on my property, they have been neglected by me because while working full-time i never paid attention to them
The most i have ever gotten from them was a few berries i shared with my dog.
This spring i cut down all the spent canes leaving the new canes and fertilized them. I see a lot more berries this year but they are tiny. I plan to repeat again next spring
So my question is if i do this for a few years will i get a decent harvest? Any suggestions from you to tackle this would be appreciated. Love all your videos
Love from Ontario
I definitely think you can..... Keep in mind with the wild ones, the berries will always be small and, but that doesn't mean the harvests can't be epic!
Mine are just just beginning to bud and I just bought some liquid seaweed...the snow just has melted..still some spots with snow...rain for next week...should I wait until the rain has ended..? Still chilly too..Thanks...😊
Thanks Jeff , just went out and did my berries and saw a bunch of sucker growth in my raised beds, should I try to keep those in pots? Will they transplant well?
Would this information apply for boysenberries also? Thank you for the info
When do you add sulphuric to acidify the soil?
I don't do that for raspberries Jen.
Hi Jeff. Love your quickies. I don't have raspberries. I'd like to. I do have strawberries, and here's the but.... their not doing anything. I have 4 different pots and not a peek. It's a week since I sowed. I guess I'm anxious. I hopping they just take longer to germinate. I started them like on a whim while snacking on some. I'll betcha my next move is to find your video on them. ( something this moment is telling me I saw one) I may have taken notes I'll have to check. Hopefully this is good timing for them. And I do know raspberries are on sale. Do you think it's a good idea to start with fresh seeds? Maybe buy a started plant is the key? I'd like to do blackberries also. Oh gee, I just got overwhelmed. I'm not fully recovered from my trip to the hospital. Oh, by the way, thank you for your kind words. As for you, keep them ( videos) coming.
Thanks Jeff love & God bless ❤
Do you mean you planted strawberry seeds Donna? If so, don't be shocked..it can take up to 2 months for them to germinate. They take forever. Its why they are almost never grown from seed. Take care! 🙂
@The Ripe Tomato Farms Hey Jeff. I kinda suspected that. I'll let these go and see what happens. But I will buy the plants along with black berries and raspberries. If you don't mind, one more question.... I have Bush Sugar Baby seeds. I have fabric containers, some measure 24"×24"×12" deep. Do I need more diameter and depth? I appreciate your help so much. Please don't go out of your way to answer. it's just well when you have the time. I don't like being a bother. Thanks honey.
@@donnakacz6460 watermelons Donna? No, that's a great size. They are quite vine like and will grow out of the pot. They need less soil than people think! :-)
@The Ripe Tomato Farms Thanks Jeff you're great❤️
I never knew this. What if I’ve been feeding my raspberries once a month? Have I caused irreparable damage? I’ve been using a “fruit tree and berry fertilizer”. Is that a bad thing?
Nah, it won't kill or even hurt the plants...it can just affect berry taste and production for THAT year Sandra. That's all. We stop feeding in June to discourage crazy sucker growth and growth that won't make it over winter dormancy. Wasted effort in other words.
3 2 1??? Jeff
Blast off! 🙂
You feed so weak, everyone does. For veg you want higher nitrogen and fruiting more potassium and you can take those nubers up. To ad high as 20-15-15, 15-20-20
