mulc1ed with 8 inches of wheat
straw (aisle areas, too) this keeps
the ground cool and damp and is
of great benefit to the plants. Ac-
cording to "Ohio Farm and Home
Research" this mulching will in
crease the yield and size of the
berries by 10 percent.
This method of feeding causes
the canes to bear so heavily that
they must be individually support
ed lest they break. This can best
be done by tying the canes to
wires which are stretched on posts
of galvanized pipe firmly anch-
ored in the ground. To prevent the
wire from slipping, pipes with
notcles, designed for this purpose,
can be purchased. Three strands
of wire are needed with the top
one about six feet above the
ground.
During the early summer, new
canes start from the base, and
sometimes as raany as dozen will
appear. The trick is to pick the
four best ones (eveenly spaced
around the plant and let them
grow The best does not mean the
talleSt, but those which are sturdy
and healthy looking.
This method of fertilizing and
pruning gives excellent canes and
a tremendous yield of the finest
fruit. AS soon as the summer
fruiting season is over the old
canes should be removed.
There, now don't say you just
can't raise red raspberries, why
not try?
