Default Invasive raspberries

My raspberry canes are in the border of the garden and are starting to
send suckers out into the very small "lawn". I've got a similar problem
with blackberries. I'm happy to zap the brambles with weed-killer, but
if I do the same with the raspberries is this going to affect the main
canes? What's the best way to deal with the volunteers if not
glyphosate?


Mowing will stop them if they actually come up in the lawn, if in the border
you need to dig them out as you would any weed spreading by root.
