Permanent mulching

Apr 08, 2005 1 Replies

I have a raspberry bed that is approximately 45' x 20'. Is it wise to put a more or less permanent mulch of landscape fabric and gravel in the bed?



I have used newspaper and straw in the past.



Are there any drawbacks to using fabric and gravel?


Sincerely,

not a good idea. The new canes need to be able to push through. Use wood chips or leaves, and replenish as needed.
