Hi, Esther.  I have sweet peas planted in just a small patch about a yard
long either way.  To stop the sprawl, I planted a privet bush in the middle
of the pea patch.  I don't prune the privet so as to encourage a dense
habit, but just give it a trim in the springtime so the branches don't show
through the peas.  The peas grow through and upon the privet, and cascade
over the top.  I still have to pull out the volunteers to keep the patch in
one spot - removing seed pods in autumn is a must.
