Clearing fruit patch of weeds
 

I have a patch of Autumn fruiting raspberries and currant bushes.
Due to a few years neglect the whole area is thick with couch grass
and bindweed which smothered the canes and bushes last year.
I have cut the raspberry canes down to the ground and pulled up as
much of the dead stuff as possible.
Question:
When the grass starts coming through can I use glyphosate on it as
long as no fruit leaves get touched?
Any other advice? Hand weeding or hoeing seem to be an impossible
task.
TIA

Thanks Martin;
Digging the lot up is not possible: too much hard work.

Thanks Jill
I love the idea of chickens but sadly this is on an allotment: no
chickens allowed.
