Wifey and I have spent a lot of time digging out the areas around the base of the raspberry plants to create a channel for them to grow on. We've also added wood chips to deter weed propagation somewhat. I'm slowly crimping wire ferrules to cable to help keep the canes from leaning too far one direction or another. Would really be helpful if I bought the correct tool for the job.
While digging the weeds out, we transplanted a number of canes that had spread to the sides to go down the middle of the channel. To my delight, we haven't lost a single transplanted cane and even have some new sprouts such as the one shown below.
