The problem is the veritable forest that each of the veritable forests
goes on to create. I've been pondering the raspberry patch this
afternoon wondering what to do with hundreds more unwanted raspberries
coming up, they are invading the gooseberries and *everywhere* else.

Do you know if it is safe to glyphosate them or will it kill the
parent plants seeing as they are runners and connected? Or is it down
to spade work and digging them all out by hand?
Dig David, dig. I'm clearing a bramble covered allotment atm........it's
bloody hard work! Beer in a cooler close to hand is recommended.
