Space plants 6–10 feet (1.8–3 m) apart and avoid planting them too deeply. Water thoroughly after planting. Prune them in the same way as raspberries, removing any canes that have fruited immediately after harvest.

Plant 6–10 feet apart (1.8–3 m).
If blackberry plants are in waterlogged soils for more than a few days at a time, they normally die a slow death from lack of aeration (oxygen) or from subsequent attack by root diseases.
Plants do best in a well-drained, fertile, loam soil with moderate water holding capacity. Avoid heavy clay soils.
Sometimes you can improve a less desirable site by tilling, increasing organic matter content and building raised beds.
pruning is similar to raspberries, canes that have fruited are cut out immediately after fruiting.
