Horsefeathers! Balderdash! Baloney! Old Wives Tale! Etcetera!

My black raspberries are twenty feet away from the red raspberries which are six feet away from the blackberries. So long as I deeply till between the varieties to prevent invasiveness, I have had no (NO) problems in twenty plus years. I have not seen a single interchange of diseases . My ONLY problem is that my next door neighbor grows wild raspberries and does nothing to control Cane Borer which makes extra work for me every year.
