Re: planting in pits

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Vesville. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about growing blackberries.
 

It's certainly possible to grow blackberries in pots, as they are well-suited for container gardening. It's best to select a large container with good drainage to prevent waterlogging. Use a high-quality potting mix and regularly water the plants. Consider using a trellis or other support system to help the blackberry plants grow vertically.

 

As for hydroponics, blackberries can be grown using various hydroponic methods, including the Kratky method. The Kratky method is a passive hydroponic system that requires minimal equipment and maintenance. However, it may not be the most efficient method for larger plants like blackberries, which can have extensive root systems. When using hydroponics, providing the appropriate nutrient solution and monitoring pH levels regularly is important. Additionally, ensure that the chosen hydroponic system can adequately support the size and weight of the blackberry plants as they grow.
