Planting Out A Mixed Soft Berry Bed, Blackberry and Raspberry
Planting blackberries in an awkward area is a great use of space. They can be trained vertically and pruned every year. Here's a demonstration of setting up a blackberry and raspberry patch.
It starts by breaking up the soil with a tiller to remove compaction. Next, spacing out plants, putting them in the ground, then mulching with cardboard. Finally, beds will be covered with a thick layer of untreated shredded wood mulch.
I'm using mixed berries here because plants are available, and it provides two harvest seasons. Both sets of plants can be hard pruned after the end of a long season. These soft berries will take over the area if not managed right.

Comment with your questions if you'd like to see more videos from this berry patch. I was able to video much of the setup, plus its growth moving through summer. Soft berries are a wonderful treat for any small farm, homestead, or estate.
