Thanks for your comments Paul.
Raspberries – it depends, are they autumn fruiting? I guess so from your question. If your site is sheltered you may not need supports. I don’t use any here and it is breezy. Yes I lose some fruit in any windy spells (they bruise in blowing atound) but on balance I am happy with that, for less hassle. Also I have space to play with and supports are good where space is tight.
