Welcome, welcome everyone to the Epic Gardening podcast. I hope you are doing awesome out there.

We are joined again by Colette, the plant charmer, and we're talking about charming some

plants in today's episode. If you guys remember, Colette is the founder of Ingenious Farms.

We have talked a lot about both his farm, his business model, as well as how that business

model has been impacted by the pandemic and just sort of the following effects of that.

But Colette, I want to bring us back into the world of cultivation and let's talk about

raspberries. I know you were really well known for your strawberry cultivation and we actually

teased a little bit of your improvements in the second episode we did this week to reduce

costs by 50%. But raspberries grow, I'm sure you know, quite differently than strawberries.

So I'm really, really interested in your approach because I'll be doing that this year.

Okay, so raspberries, I don't bring as much innovation to the game of course because they're

not as easy to grow. While we grow them vertically, yeah, but you can't really grow them in rain

gutters. They have to be in the ground. But there are definitely things you can do with

your raspberries at home to make them more productive and more orderly and controlled

and in the end they're just going to do better that way. So one of the things, if you guys

have raspberries at home, I strongly recommend you get, actually I think I'm going to make

an episode on that on YouTube this year, a V-shape trellis. So a V-shape trellis is basically

you want to grow your raspberry plants in a V-shape. So the plants grow canes, right? So if

you build yourself a V-shape trellis out of simple lumber or wood, I'll put it in the

YouTube video I'll make or whatever, but you guys are going to see it super easy stuff.

So the way raspberry grows is the canes grow and then they flower in fruit. So on your

V shape, you put the flowering canes, the fruiting canes. And then in between, what happens is
