I have a small raspberry patch that over the years has given me enough raspberries to sprinkle on ice cream, pancakes, and so forth buy not enough to gouge (sp) myself. It was covered in shade a good part of the day because of two trees. Last summer I had the trees removed, and thought that my patch would so a lot better since it receives sun all day now, but it is a lot worse. I wonder if over the years through self selection if the raspberry bushes that did better in the shade took over, and now that there is sun they cannot hang in there.I am thinking about replacing it with grasses, perennials or a combination. What is the best way to get rid of the patch. Dig it up and turn it over. Dig it, then remove the raspberry patches or just get a load of dirt and build a mound? Thanks
