Eating Fresh Your Own Yard

 

As published by Health Living of Missouri Department, growing your own in a backyard garden or in your front porch, even in balcony is a great way to add flavor to your meals and improve your health.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are full of nutrients – vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants – that can help prevent a number of diseases, and the fresher they are, the better they taste.

Gardening is also a good way to increase physical activity, another important factor in maintaining good health. For the do-it-yourselfers, a small backyard garden can produce many pounds of fruits and vegetables every year. Even planting a couple of tomato or raspberry plants in a pot on a deck or patio can provide fresh tomatoes for salads and sandwiches all summer long. And don’t forget about freezing and canning homegrown fruits and vegetables when they are in season to provide garden-fresh flavor throughout the year.

             Today we focus on your own mini raspberry farm.

Greenhouse Product News recommends using at least a 3 gallon pot (10” pot) for bare-root multi-cane raspberries. The Royal Horticultural Society suggests a pot of at least 15 inches in diameter for smaller single raspberry plants. The long trough (available in Wellco Industries, Inc.) trough is 14” in width, and 12.5” in depth, provides continuous planting area for raspberries’ bare-root, more like an elegant raised bed.

The most important thing is, raspberries can grow to significant heights and become top-heavy, toppling smaller pots. The fiberglass planting trough easily overcomes the short. It is especially ideal and perfect for people who like gardening but do not have the conditions for doing so. If you are having concrete decking or wood decking in backyard, do not have any soil planting area, or you only have a balcony area for planting, or the soil in your yard is not nutritious enough for gardening, get the fiberglass planting trough, buy nutritious soil and seed from your local garden center, then you are ready to go.

There are usually three ways to stake raspberries, hedgerow trellis systems, 干 trellis or T trellis or V trellis systems. However, 干 or T raspberry system is most suitable, although may have some cost increase in stake purchasing, but it does make a better harvest， because this system can give raspberry more light and more air and its steady structures successfully give their healthy growing great support.

Staking in a right way is very promising for healthy and prosperous growth of raspberry, tomato and cucumber in Farms. Especially for raspberry, the stake systems may probably need to be supporting for around 10 years, which is nearly impossible for metal T posts and wood stakes going through. Watering and sun exposure bring fatal damage to wood and metal stakes in years' growing.

Fiberglass Stakes are naturally suitable for humidity environment, will not rot or rust and no pest problem. Specially handled, fiberglass stakes resist UV, will not be fragile after long time sun exposure. Its reinforced roving and mat features great strength for heavy duty planting support.

Wellco is launching a professional raspberry systems made in fiberglass, structured in 8ft post with two cross bar across the top and middle of each post. Stretch lengths of 12~16 gauge wire from each cross bar will make it there perfect for raspberry staking.

The combination of the trough and the trellis makes it perfect.  Grow your own raspberry now! When we harvest, let’s do the canned raspberry and raspberry jam together. Any questions on raspberry planting, I’d like to share and discuss.

If you are having concrete paving in back yard, or decking, how can you enjoy the happiness of gardening? Having some troubles with individual pots planting? It always looks messy with so much small containers lining up there, and not enough for planting roots, thus depressing the possible harvest.  

Well, no need to tear down the decking or pavement to dig out a place for soil, just combine the  long planting trough with necessary stakes or trellis system. 

You can get a row even up to 6ft, 10ft, 13.5 ft and 20ft with the long trough, which is pretty elegant in outlook. The trough can match your white fence. If you are planning to plant raspberry, then the white T raspberry trellis will be ideal for adding to the trough. The whole set of raised trough and trellis kits will definitely build up a dreamy gardening area. 

Show them out to your friends and neighbors. It would be very attractive.
