 I agree with Jim. Raspberries, blackberries and black currants were 
some of the first fruit I planted in my garden. Being a complete amateur 
I did a terrible job and planted them all too close (some within 3 
feet!). But apart from the blackberries taking up way more space than 
planned, I have had suprisingly little trouble with this set-up. I 
wouldn't do it the same if I had to it again, I would go for something 
like Jim describes I think, just to give myself more breathing space!
