Help with raspberry beds

17 years ago

I inherited a raised bed when I moved to this property. I brought my blueberries and raspberries with me. The bed is 8x16. As you can guess, raspberries are everywhere. That actually isn't main problem. I have grass throughout the canes. Last spring I was sick, then broke my hand. By the time I got to the berries, the grass was taller then the canes. Now what do I do? Got most of the grass and weeds out and mulched, but the bed really needs to be redone. When is the best time to take all the canes out for transplant? Also, since the space is too wide to maintain properly, what size raised bed would work? Is 12" too narrow? Would 2' be better? I don't know what kind of raspberries they are. A passalong from a passalong. With this crazy weather this year, had a lousy crop. Maybe it would be easier to just start over? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. By the way, plants go north x south, is that the best direction to plant?
