Mulching helps to keep weeds down and retain moisture in the ground. Keeping weeds down in the raspberries last year proved difficult so we weeded the bed, laid a membrane of leftover pond liner and covered it with a bark mulch to a depth of 4 inches bought from Rolawn Limited. The raspberries were also too close together, so we've transplanted some to fill up our cage which did have strawberries in, now transplanted to take up spaces in the strawberry bed.
