Raspberries sure do travel. My folks planted 6 plants and within a few years they were taking over the entire garden.
I put in 6 Blackberry plants (3 Chester Thornfree & 3 Illini) and they pretty much stay in place. I may have to uproot 2 or 3 wandering root sprouts from the Illini and a few stem-tip rootings from the Chester each spring when I trim them back, but that's it.
