rasberries with vegetables

hi just a querry i have 2 x 2 meter raised beds can i grow rasberries at back of beds and veg that i want to grow sprouts, cauli, onions etc at the front or leave rasberries in the pots they are in now?

 

If you put the raspberries into the beds, when they send out the suckers for next years fruit they could end anywhere in the beds .Could cause problems .

I have mine in large pots as I don`t have room for growing in raised beds and my ground floods so all my plants ,herbs,fruit veg and flowers are in pots except for about a yard at the bottom ,which goes up into a bank so is drier,but that gives the advantage of being able to move them if needs be.

 

I wouldn't grow raspberries in the same bed. I dug a 4 x 1 foot 'bed' against a wall, put blackberry/raspberry there, and they still send new canes out into the lawn.

 

thanks will keep them in pots dont want to waste time trying to put in boxes if wont work thanks for help

 

running raspberries

I have Autumn Bliss in raised beds and its comes up in all the other beds near by and in the hedge which is a real nuisance.

 

Bed Hopping

My raspberries are bed hopping all the time, despite the occasional strimming inbetween.

 

I used weed supressing fabric dug in to a depth of about 18 inches to keep our rasps under control. It worked a treat.

 

Raspberry Rust

Do you know how to get rid of rust on raspberries? does it get worse if the weather is dry like this year? I'm organic if i can be.

 

The rust is it on leaves? if so it is a harmless Puccinia
Late leaf rust is a fungus which is heteroecious, meaning that it attacks two different hosts at different stages of its life cycle. The rust fungus produces two types of spores only on red raspberries.
New studies indicate that most of the fungus is overwintering on infected canes so it is wise to cut them down. All of the canes and anything that fell to the ground should be disposed of in the garbage that leaves the property.


The best advice includes making sure the site has good air circulation and full sun exposure. A tree canopy can cause fungus problems. Row width should be 1-2 feet and cane density should not exceed 3-4 canes per square foot. Control fertilizer to prevent excessive growth and keep weeds under control. At the end of the season remove and destroy old fruited and infected canes.
The only treatment that is considered organic is fixed copper (Bordeaux mixture – a mix of hydrated lime and copper sulfate). It would be applied in dormancy and at first bloom. Most farm supplies carry this product and Gardens Alive! Online carries what they call Soap-Shield which is copper-based and non-toxic to bees and other pollinators.
