Raspberries are escaping their raised bed after two years :( I really don’t want them to spread beyond it. what to do? Bury a tarp under the mulch? Dig a trench around the bed? Roundup?

    Our raspberry bushes only send up runners early in the season. It is pretty easy to just pull those who escape.

      I am going to try pulling runners this season and see how it goes. I think the mother plant kept creeping across the raised bed all of last season, but maybe it will stop being as vigorous in the summer.

        We have a raspberry in our bare soil and we only had to pull a few in the spring. Good luck!!!
