Couch Grass

Can't identify that mould? Got a great tip for keeping slugs at bay? Suggestions for organic weed control? Post them here...

My raspberry bed has been overtaken with couch grass. I have completely lost the battle with trying to pull it up as it enjoys the
manure mulch I give the canes each year. To get control back I
feel I need to spray but what product won't affect the raspberry
canes as well?

Sounds like a relocation job. :)

Dig up, de-couch and relocate the best canes.
Harvest from the current area next year, then kill everything there, or patiantly dig out all roots.
Second year crop from new location.
