Way to go, soda pop the dog..looks so healthy at 13 for a big dog. I did a number of Neurology rotations in med school, and while some strokes are sadly fatal or devastating, for many…..the brain does re-wire and re-learn, even if we humans are in ate 80s and up, which is amazing.

Amazingly - Soda will turn 15 years this week and he's still going! Yes, the rewiring has happened for him.

Thanks! From Duluth, MN! Planted raspberries last year and was pleased to have beautiful, healthy plants this year…needed to learn how to make sure they produce fruit for me next year! I appreciate you!

Great video. Step three is not easy for some people to do practically with no/low cost. If you don't have a bunch of cardboard or coffee sacks, or simply don't wanna deal with that, then get bags of black mulch from home depot or Lowes. That insulates decent enough from my ecperience.
@SustainableStace11 ай бұрын
Noted. Usually cardboard can be found for free from many businesses. I like your suggestion of mulch from a home improvement store - thanks!

Thanks for the information. This was not a productive year for raspberries (too much rain?) but I covered the blueberries and ate more than the birds! Took your advice and planted six thornless blackberries and actually got berries off of one!

You're welcome Michael - thanks for watching! You got more blueberries than the birds AND have thornless blackberries up and running. Sounds like berries are your new best friend !

Ok let’s say you didn’t do any trimming last year and already have new Spring leaves coming in on super long canes, would you recommend just trying to tie these and leave as-is or taking off the tops to a more manageable height?
@SustainableStace2 жыл бұрын
Good question! You want to trim the tops b/c you want to send a message to the stalk - that you want it to put its energy into flower & fruit production down below rather than continuing to grow taller. Once a cane is taller than 5' or 6' it's unruly and prone to breaking when it's heavy with fruit on a windy day.

Quick question, why do you put the mulch on top but not the coffee bags? I would think none of the nutrients from the mulch will even get into the ground. And then snow and sun destroy essential nutrients? The sacks do they disintegrate? Where does someone find those coffee sacks ? Thanks !
@SustainableStace3 ай бұрын
Hey Bandy Bear - thanks for your comments! I don't understand this question: "Why do you put the mulch on top but not the coffee bags?" I'm not expecting nutrients to be contributed from the mulch - i'm wanting the mulch to insulate the raspberries' roots and suppress spring weeds. The sacks DO disintegrate. They are made of organic fiber - hemp or sisal depending on which country they come from. In about a year, the sacks 'disappear' into the soil, like slow release compost! We are partners in a coffee roasting business and so I'm able to get my hands on coffee sacks anytime :) Maybe you can find a coffee roaster in your area who wants to hand them over !

What do you do with what I would call “suckers”? Canes that shoot up almost overnight. I used to cut them off but this time I’ve let them grow. They don’t look like they will bear fruit. Do I cut them or leave them. I’m in Ontario Canada they still have full leaves
@SustainableStace10 ай бұрын
Great question. Hello Ontario ! There are a few other factors to consider before answering 'cut them or leave them?' 1) you only want a few canes growing from each root clump so . . . are these excess or needed? 2) you want to give priority to the strongest, thickest most likely to produce canes so . . . are these them? Now I hope you can decide what steps to take!
