Lol to this, because it's partially true, but also a bit defeatist.
You need to stay on top of berry bushes quarterly in warmer zones, but this person is in Minnesota. I don't think they'll thrive their like they would in warmer zones without harsh winters.
If farms can keep them in check, regular gardeners can as well, it just takes a fair amount of effort.
As someone in Minnesota, they thrive here just fine. I grow mine in the yard and mow down any that grow where I don't want them, which seems to keep them in check.
You don’t see the root systems choking off anything adjacent? Genuinely curious.
Not really, no. There's grass around them and among them, so they seem to be fitting in well.
