My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Raspberry and wood chip mulch

9 years ago

We cut down a tree a few weeks back. We used some of the wood chips to mulch different areas in the garden, including the raspberry patch which I previous pruned down to the root in early winter. Now I am thinking, would the new shoot of raspberry be able to push through the couple inches of mulch? Should I remove some of the mulch?

Thanks in advance.
