Growing food is like printing money.

I’m building blackberry trellises in my spare time. It is a work in progress.

It will be a few years before I get any real production. That’s okay because blackberries grow like weeds in this soil.

I’m either going to share with the deer or enclose it, not sure yet. Or keep up with the deer repellent.

I have two rows of blackberries planted and need to plant two more rows.

Each row is 7 meters.

I have a habit of over engineering things.

If the blackberries have thorns the deer will not mess with them. Blackberries are natures protection for young trees because of the thorns

These two varieties are thornless.

I made the "mistake" of growing blackberries.

I planted 2 on the side of my house along my neighbors fence.

They have taken over…. Lol

So many berries everywhere every year now.

you don't have a deer problem, you have a protein solution.

Yeah, I harvest plenty of deer. I have access to more than I want.

Nice work! The best videos I’ve found on blackberries are from a farm in Alabama. They have a YouTube called Petals From the Past.

I’ll link an old trellising video but they have an updated multipart series that is really well explained in case you were curious about how to get good production with less of a tangle. Hope this is helpful for you, it has definitely helped with pruning mine and clients’ blackberries
