I have mature raspberry canes that I would like thinned. This would be a good time to grab a few as they are just waking up. Replant them and you will have raspberries in a few weeks - just keep their roots wet in wet newspaper and not take a bucket of my soil like a person did last year.

Replant them and you will have raspberries in a few weeks - just keep their roots wet in wet newspaper and not take a bucket of my soil like a person did last year.
These have been growing in compost stuff from Bunnings that I just put on top of my gardens - not dug in, and it has worked down about 30cm into the soil now and its rich deep and full of life, so if you want to replant it that might help.
Give me a call. Leigh 0276770087.
These will be dug up and thrown away soon so act now.
