Can I Plant Raspberries Where Raspberries Have Grown Before?

Question

They’ve been successful for 20 years but when I’ve tried to replace them they dont root and die.

Answer 1

There may be some soil pathogens left from the previous fruit. You can start a new plot or sterilize the existing soil. Adding compost will help, too.
