Question: "Will mulching be a good way to rare for and keej) down 

 weeds in blackberry and dewberry patch?*' 



Answer: Mulching does pretty well when you cannot do anything 

 else, but it is not equal to cultivation, as 1 have tried both. In a dry 

 season I have had blackberries dry out and not ripen at all, when right 

 near by where I have taken care and cultivated them, they did ripen. 

 This is the first year I have failed in blackberries for fifteen years. I 

 piefer cultivation to mulching, but mulching is better than not doing 

 anything. I would say further that if you mulch one year you better 

 cultivate the next year, as the roots come to the surface and winter kill. 

 1 think these dewberries (exhibiting a box of dewberries) make the 

 nicest berry there is. I can always get top prices for them.
