Hello,
I have 3 questions I hope thats ok
1.I had a raspberry patch which I cleared out last year and this year I have runner's outside of my raised bed. I was wondering if I can dig those up and plant them in my raised bed where the other one grew ?
2, Should I use a little rock phosphate in the bottom oh my holes for pepper plants and tomatoes?
3.I trimmed my Honeycrisp and Connell red apple trees and I only have around 10 blossoms on each tree where they have always had many many blossoms in the past. The trees are at least 12 years old.
Thank You very much

Expert Response
Raspberries can be propagated from runners provided the plants are disease free. Growers sometimes use this method. Usually raspberries are grown/propagated from tissue culture which makes them produce earlier. So yes, you can transplant them but be aware that they make take more than one season to produce fruit.
