    I want to tell the readers about my experience of growing raspberries in tires. This method is good in that it prevents unwanted overgrowth of bushes and makes it easier to care for the berry and collect fruits. Removal of root suckers, which is indispensable for the usual cultivation of this plant, usually weakens the raspberries, and in the "rubber" unnecessary shoots do not spread around the bushes.

    For cultivation, it is best to use larger tires. You need to dig a hole about half the depth of a shovel bayonet and a diameter slightly larger than the tire. Thoroughly level the bottom and lay the tire so that it rises 10-15 cm above the ground level. Then return the soil back to the tire, add a bucket of garden compost and dig thoroughly again.
    Such a berry flower bed needs minimal supervision: remove thickening shoots, water only on hot, dry days. With the onset of autumn, old, fruiting and damaged stems will need to be cut out.
    Of course, with this method of growing raspberries, the plantings occupy a large area, but the yield will also increase. It is better to grow tall plants on a trellis - for this I use wooden posts driven into the ground at a distance of 30-35 cm from the wheel, on which I pulled several rows of wire.

    Going to plant raspberries along the fence. Since this culture is demanding on soil fertility, I want to fill the trench with humus. But since I will buy it, I want to calculate the exact amount. How to do it better?

      The question asked is quite simple from the point of view of arithmetic calculations, but from the point of view of agricultural engineering there are some nuances.
      First, determine the volume of the trench: measure its length, width and depth, then multiply the numbers obtained. Here is an example: if the length of the trench is 20 m, the width of 1 m and the depth 0,5 m, the volume will be equal to 10 cube. m (20x1x0,5).
      However, the soil for this volume needs a little more, taking into account its natural sedimentation, which is approximately 20%, that is, another 2 cube is required for shrinkage. m, total 12 cube. m
      In this case, note that raspberries, like many other cultures, do not tolerate burial, therefore, the trench must be filled in advance, no later than a month before planting.
      Try to correctly calculate the necessary parameters of the trench. They depend on the planned layout of plants, the type of soil, the depth of groundwater and other characteristics of the site.

      Given the surface root system of raspberries, it makes no sense to drive the valuable fertile soil to great depths. This is all the more inexpedient with closely located groundwater, where the soil will simply rot without any benefit. On such sites, if you need to dig trenches, then only for soil drainage, laying large branches, stumps, bundles of brushwood, sod, etc. on the bottom. Plant the same plants will have to bulk rolls.
