Last autumn we were lucky enough to be given some fruit canes; raspberries, blackcurrents, redcurrents and tayberries, and we knocked up some raised beds for them. Imagine our joy when we found them all in bud last week. Further advise from Monty Don was that wood ash is very good for increasing soft fruit yield, so we've weeded the beds, and topped them up with ash from the fire, and soil from last years leek beds.
