Raspberries, currants, red currants, and gooseberries are all berry crops. However, they are planted differently.
For raspberries, dig holes about 20 inches deep. Plant them vertically, covering the roots with fertile soil and compacting it gently to avoid damaging the root shoots and suckers. The planting scheme is 6.5 feet by 1.6 feet.
Currants, on the other hand, are planted at an angle and 2 to 4 inches deeper than they were growing in the nursery. This encourages more shoots to develop. The planting scheme is 8.2 feet by 4.1 feet.
The same method applies to red currants.
Gooseberries are spaced according to a 6.5 feet by 3.3 feet layout. Before planting, the seedlings are pruned back, leaving 3 to 4 buds on each branch.
To propagate grapevines, gooseberries, and currants, gardeners bend the branches down and pin them to the ground with stakes. At the point of pinning, a mound of soil mixed with compost is placed over the branch. This is then covered with peat or compost and watered. By autumn, roots will form on these branches. After that, the new plants can be separated from the bush and transplanted to their permanent spots in the berry patch.
