The materials have been acquired to complete the pair of trellises for the blackberry plants on the right side. The bramble bushes prefer acidic soils, so I added pine needles as a mulch. This will make the soils more acidic and keep the grass from competing with the plants. I then ran the wires to tie the trellises together.
After installing the wires I carefully tied branches of the bushes to the trellis wire. My goal here is to train the bushes to grow up onto the trellis. This will hopefully make harvesting easier and improve the quality and quantity of yields.
