Tyvm, really glad youtube showed me ur channel! So good. No video for 10month..hope ur doing alright

I’m so pleased I’ve found your channel. I’ve never had success with raspberries due to complicated and difficult instructions. Yours are clear and concise thank you. I feel confident this is the year! 😊

I greatly appreciate how detailed your videos are. You answered all of my questions that I couldn't find in my research. I wish I had found your channel sooner. Then I wouldn't have stressed so much about my lack of knowledge. Thank you.

Have you tried growing raspberries from seed? I got a good variety from a shop so thought I'd give it a go.

Thanks Liam. Would they grow in containers trained up a garage wall?

Potentially, yes. It would be best for the wall to receive a good amount of sunshine, and choosing varieties that grow from a central 'clump' rather than spread. Probably best to avoid containers with thin walls to avoid the soil becoming too warm. Perhaps a wooden container with good drainage, or something similar to keep the soil getting too warm.

... to stop the soil from getting too warm (that's what I meant to say).

@@AllotmentBook Thank you Liam. It's a sunny wall, I used to have thornless blackberries in the ground there, but it's a patio now.

What did you use underneath the raspberry bed? Looks like a white membrane under the soil. And why have toy done that please? Is it to stop the raspberries spreading ?

It was a weed membrane to try and prevent bindweed growing up from below. I also used it to try and retain moisture in the soil, as my plot has sandy soil that dries out really quickly. My experience is that it was helpful for the circumstances on my plot, but by no means essential. For moisture retention, I've put straw down in the summer as a mulch, and this has helped more.

This is the latest video I can find on this channel. Are you still making videos please? Your channel looks so interesting and I would subscribe if you are still contributing to it. Thank you

I never support the raspberries they seem to grow into a strong bush by themselves. I rarely prune but definitely never before winter to preserve any sugar stores in the branches. Gold raspberries seem to be faster growers and more hardy.

I think you make an excellent point about sugar storage. My assumption was that the storage went to the roots, but I'm uncertain about this. And thanks for sharing your feedback on gold varieties.

I heard they taste better, too.

​@@sandyg3772 I like the taste of the reds better, they have better nutrition and the golds like to grow sideways like blackberries while the reds grow tall.
