The planting bed may have been too"hot" - I might have had too much chicken manure in the mix. Also - the chickens pulled out some of the blackberries. I had to leave for 6 weeks, when I got back there was no sign of the blackberry plants and only some bare sticks with no roots for the raspberries.
