Do black berry bushes like sun or shade?

Posted on April 16, 2006

Question:
Do black berry bushes like sun or shade? How do I get rid of wild onion grass in my yard? Thanks

Answer:
Blackberries like sunny areas best. Wild onions are a tough one. Repeated applications with Weed Free Zone and the addition of the spreader/sticker (that will ensure the spray stays on the plant) will start breaking down the population. Digging them out also works well if they are in clumps. Are you sure they are not "Star of Bethlehem" flower bulbs? Bring some in for identification.
