My raspberry beds ended up getting overgrown with weeds this year to the point where almost all the plants (other than a few of the Nova Raspberry) were choked out. I have dug out the weeds and applied a thick layer of mulch as a first step towards regaining control. This seems like it's been fairly effective at stopping further weed growth in the beds

The gravel I put between the beds has been growing a lot of weeds itself which is a big surprise to me. I'm thinking I would be better off moving back to lawn between the beds.
The beds themselves are starting to crack and break - I experimented with a tall concrete bed this year - I am thinking I will replace these beds with a similar build in the coming years
