Selecting a Planting Site for Raspberries

Raspberries produce best in full sun, but they can tolerate partial shade.

Avoid a site where potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant other cane berries, or strawberries have been grown within the past three years.

Drainage is the most important soil factor to consider when selecting a site. Raspberries are sensitive to wet soils, and most cultivars are susceptible to root rot.

Plants grow best in well-drained, fertile, loam soil with moderate water-holding capacity. Avoid heavy clay soils. sometimes you can improve a less desirable site by tiling, increasing organic matter content, and or building raise beds.

Selecting a Planting Site for Blueberries

Blueberries require a sunny location for full production. Avoid areas surrounded by trees. Trees can provide too much shade, compete with plants for water and nutrients, encourage birds, and interfere with air movement around the plants.

Blueberries have very specific soil requirements. Plants grow best in well-drained, light, sandy loam soils that are high in organic matter and have a pH between 4.5 and 5.5.

Avoid planting on heavy soils that drain slowly. Water standing on the soil surface for more than 2 days during the growing season can damage roots. The soil water table should be at least 14 inches below the soil surface, or roots will suffocate.

If your garden has only coarse, sandy or gravelly soils, pay careful attention to watering and fertilizing.
