Default raspberry stalks - how to bush?

You'll find that to compensate for not being a bush, they'll send out
lots
of new stems and gradually march along your plot

Any suggestions how to get them to march 'along' (in line with the stakes
and wires) rather than 'across' (filling in the spaces between rows)?


The only way is to dig the rogue ones up as far as I know


Same here.

But it's not guaranteed that you'll get every little bit.

One of my rows marched right along the garden until I realised what was
happening. The other came from next door - and it's now been tamed (sort of)
to be at 90 degrees from the original.

Whatever that was :-)
