Youngberry Barrel of Berries

Using a half wine barrel and a good potting mix plant your selection of berries in spring. Build or buy a frame to fit within the wine barrel with 3 rings evenly spaced up the frame work. As the berry fruit plant grows wind the canes around the frame work to keep it contained. Feed with a general fertiliser in early spring annually. Each winter remove fruited canes and wind up the new canes around the wire structure.
