[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 529598, member: 135"] Strawberries aren't a bush but they need a place where they can spread. They get runners that you'll want to encourage each year to make new plants to keep your bed growing well. Blueberries need acid soil so you may need to add some amendment to your soil to keep them healthy. Raspberries and blackberries tend to have lots of brambles and spread that way. Both, especially raspberries, take pruning but you have to know which kind of raspberries you have before you know how to prune. On most, you cut out the old wood (you don't have to worry about that till next year) but on a couple of kinds you just cut them down to the ground in the fall. Just type "growing raspberries" or blackberries or blueberries or strawberries into your search engine and you will get lots of good resources to help you. Here is one site that is local here but used by people all over the US that has good, reliable advice: [URL]http://byf.unl.edu/home[/URL] [/QUOTE]
