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

Perfect timing. My raspberries are going in every possible direction, time to clean them up. Thanks Scott.

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.

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.

Great timing, sorting mine out this week! Thanks for sharing!!

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.

Hi Scott you have helped me for years now thank you.

I have never tried to grow raspberries. Great lesson. TFS 👍🌱

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.

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.

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.

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.

My best raspberry patch is under my oak trees. My other bed is in full sun and does not do as well.

I placed my raspberries in the middle of my lawn so I can mow around them. I rarely find escaped raspberry bushes.

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!

Wow! So many raspberries! Thank You for the information on them.

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

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

I planted my yellow Anne raspberries cane's next to my asparagus bed and I am regretting it. I will be moving the asparagus this fall.

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.

Timely film. I will move my raspberries to an area where they can roam without trouble. Switzerland

Interesting. Great info.

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

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.

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😁

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? 🤷‍♀️
