You’re probably not going to find a number, Stephanie. Here’s some help: Tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplant are nighshade plants (nightshade is their family). They do not 鈥済et along with鈥 blackberries and can transmit disease (verticillium wilt) to the berries. Also avoid planting blackberries near black walnut trees.
You would be advised to put quite a few feet (even pavement) betw the areas in which you grow these plants. How much…? Well, we’d say a good 20 feet minimum; then add 30 feet for good measure (why risk disappointment?). Consider that some sources advise planting blackberry rows three feet apart, with 7 to 8 feet between the rows.
