Subject: [nafex] Raspberry Production

I've grown raspberries for about 7 years now. Most of those were in a
raised bed in Berkeley, but now I'm having to grow them in large
containers. Anyway, production has always been a big light for my taste.
When they were in a raised bed, I had to add sulfur every once in a while
to adjust pH or they'd get an iron deficiency. They're now growing in the
best composted soil I can afford. Still need to supplement with sulfur this
year, I think. I fertilize them occasionally, when I can afford to. What
are folks' tips for getting bumper raspberry production?
I'm growing a variety called 'Else's Choice', an heirloom selection
collected in Sebastopol, CA.
