I got free blackberry roots almost 35 years ago and get 5 or 10 gallons every year. I don't know how many people I gave roots too, but there are berry patches in the tri-county area as a result. Around 10 years ago my neighbor planted ever-bearing Raspberries and before long they were pushing out into his yard where he was mowing them down. He was happy for me to dig them up before that happened, so in a few years I had 40' of Red Raspberries. I also got free Black Raspberry Crowns from another friend and now have 40' rows of all three berries. I make several types of Wine, but nothing beats the Mixed Berry Wine. If your berries are lacking vitality, they need Potassium. Get a truck load of composted horse manure to top dress, and always mulch with leaves or wood chips.

This is probably my favorite part of growing: the ability to create more and share

Gooseberries are one of my favorites, I create cuttings from Gooseberry bushes by pinning the lower branches to the ground with a rock, the part of the branch which is pinned to the ground will sprout roots, once that happens cut the branch off from its mother plant and then you got a new gooseberry plant.

I threw my gooseberry cuttings under about an inch of wood chip mulch (just so the thorns didn’t poke me) thinking they would just break down. I was surprised to find 4 new gooseberry plants.

Thank you. May your berries be fruitful. ✌️❤️

Oh your pup jumping outside to see what you were doing inside was hilarious. That was a really useful video, thank you Ben. I have raspberry and blueberry plants in pots that I bought this year. I'll transplant now 😀

I grew up on a hundred acres and during the seasons my grandmother would send me out to pick the berries so she could make whatever she was making. I was well into my mid twenties before I realized people BOUGHT berries, and for good money too!

I'll be gifting some of my golden raspberries to my friend by taking shoot in early spring next year. Can't wait to see hers start growing.

Love your dog with a case of the Zoomies!

Aloe Vera works just fine as a rooting gel...using one plant to nurture others.
Cut off a 'leaf', peel or slice the outer 'skin' off to reveal the gel beneath.
I store mine in food grade plastic containers, such as bottles, for later use.

One thing I learn the bad way was to keep red and golden raspberries away from the black raspberries. The first two are nice and polite, the blacks are the neighborhood's crazy neighbor and will take over. Planting more red and golden and keeping them away. Great video, I already have all those berries but not many plants. (Asides from the crazy black raspberries.) These year I am expanding and giving my daughter some. So glad that there will be one on mushrooms, very hard to find information on them!

fab clear instructions - one of the best gardening presenters on YT

[bradymcphail]

Sir, you are fantastic! I learn so so much every single video I watch of yours. I’m a sponge to your videos, please keep them coming… And thank you so very much!

[SuneKelly]

I really enjoy watching your videos, especially seeing Rosy being silly in the background. She is an amazing little one.

[l-y-n-n-c]

🤣 Crazy dog, crazy dog! So funny 😂 Thank for the info on berries as it's great to have all this info in one place and being shown how and what to do.

[ushik]

Brilliant info, love it. Really such a joy to watch each video. Wish you'd get a tv show. This is REAL entertainment.

[jaaaaannnnee]

I just found you the other day and after following countless gardeners on youtube, TV, and books... you are my favorite! Clear, concise, good visuals, and information. Thanks from a New Englander (wish I was an ex-pat).

I've been taking a few cuttings over the years, but you have inspired me to continue! I have 8 acres and I'm ready to fill it up with more bushes and fruit trees. I'm in Wisconsin along the Mississippi River. Sandy soil. Thank you. I always enjoy your videos!
