About a quarter of my allotment is raspberry canes. They are doing much at the moment but will soon be bushy. I’ve been putting wood chips down but there are still weeds popping up. Other than throw more wood chips down is there an alternative?

If you can get it try straw (not hay as it is essentially grass seed). A good layer of straw is good for keeping weeds at bay and helps with water evaporation. Straw is hard to find at the moment though

I’m considering leaving a shitty push mower in the shed and just mowing in between the plants
