We have sticks in the ground with string to keep them contained and easier to pick.

Also when you cut out the old canes we've been told to destroy them as they can disease the plants.

We do nothing special with ours, we transplanted them from our previous home and once they are established they should do fine. My only complaint is they have suckers and can come up places that you really don't want them.
