Raspberries like an acidic soil, and a sandy loam.

Warm, but not hot. Six hours of sun is plenty.

Same with all berries.

problem with berrys is they got thorns, you got to get in there with heavy boots to stomp the cane over and get the good berrys

It’s worth the effort

I’m used to growing in Wisconsin - we grew Raspberries commercially for Market for decades. Always added compost, never acidity. It was a lot of work, but lucrative - taking home $3K on a Saturday was FUN, LOL!

However, there are always differing opinions in gardening. ;)
