Most efficient ways to trellis blackberries & raspberries?

[TacticalSpeed]

I have 2 blackberry bushes and 1 raspberry bush. 1 blackberry bush is in the ground next to the raspberry bush & the other blackberry bush is potted on the deck.

What have you found to be the most efficient way to trellis them and keep things, at least somewhat, in control?

I use a simple, yet effective trellis made with 5 ft posts and 3 strands of thin wire strung between them. Mow along outside with lawn mower to keep in control. This little patch produces gallons of blackberries every year virtually maintenance free.

Looks like I need to get rid of some old canes ...

As promised, additional views to hopefully show my simple post and wire blackberry trellis.

It's hard to see the thin wire but hopefully these side views will help some. I just leave the cut off old canes to compost and mulch in place and the vetch you see coming on provides all the Nitrogen the berries need. It works for me!
