Q-
I read that it's OK to mulch 1st year raspberries with black plastic. If so, doesn't this discourage runners?
Thanks

A-
It will discourage suckering if the plastic isn't opened up as the plants develop. You must check the planting once or twice a week and cut the plastic to allow new plants to see the light of day.

Thank you so much, I've gardened forever but never tried raspberries.
