[QUOTE="borderterribles, post: 4705016, member: 691"] Sorry , can't recall suppliers, some where in East Anglia. The bushes produced from year 2. We inter-row sprayed ( from memory, maybe 8ft) and kept that as bare earth. Hoed between bushes and pruned them in the Autumn. Used to hand top dress them with Potato fertiliser in the early Spring. They can be machine harvested, but our 5-ish acres didn't justify the expense of even getting a suitably equipped contractor in to do it, never mind buying a machine. The bushes are beyond prickly, and the price was never good enough to put the students on Gooseberries instead of Strawberries. Having said all this , I really like Goosegogs and was disappointed to do away with them, but we couldn't make them pay. [/QUOTE]
