I got to thinking about this subject, and realised there was something I had 
left out about my raspberry patch.  It is merely a patch.  I don't tend it 
except to chop out some of the worst of the honeysuckle and weeds.  The 
vines naturally tiproot and keep moving.  The whole patch has shifted some 
10-15 feet in the last 13 years.  Are you all talking about nice neat rows 
where you try to keep the same plants, same roots, year after year?  Maybe 
the secret is to keep replacing the old plants.    Donna
