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?

Roundup is a systemic herbicide. You have a chance of killing the parent plant since they share roots. It probably won’t, but it seems pretty drastic when you could just pull any shoots. You can even pot them up and give them to friends.
I didn’t mean to single out roundup, but I was trying to say that I’m not against going the chemical route if it’s more effective. It seems like it won’t be, so I’ll try shoot management this season.
That’s what I’m planning on doing, but based on some of the responses here perhaps I won’t limit myself to only friends if you catch my drift ;)
