Sounds like good advice. I am right now having my son pull out the
vines and bundle them up in plastic bags-the seeds don't seem to be
ripe just yet thank heavens.
Thanks!

scuffle the soil.

Add mulch. Good weed suppressant, and the raspberries will like it too.

And forget about flamethrowers. Definitely overkill.
