    Does anyone know if covering raspberries with straw for the winter is beneficial at all? I've covered my strawberries and just threw the left over hay onto the raspberries...I just don't want to cause any problems.

    Thanks,

    No problem, it will protect them from your winters, and also suppress weeds, it also keeps the fruits that droop down to near the ground happy.
