Planting
Prior to planting, enrich the soil by incorporating compost to enhance both its fertility and drainage. Eliminate any weeds and debris from the planting area. Optimal times for planting Meeker raspberry canes are early spring (around March to April) or fall (around September to October). When planting, dig a hole of sufficient depth and width to accommodate the plant's root system, and space multiple plants in rows 2-3 feet apart, with 6-8 feet between rows. Place the plant in the hole at the same depth as it was growing in its original container or nursery bed. Carefully refill the hole with soil, lightly packing it to remove any air pockets. Water the newly planted raspberries thoroughly, ensuring the soil stays moist but not waterlogged, particularly during the growth phase.
