Brambles

[Countryboy]

Spraying sounds a good idea, what spray do you use, as I do not have a spraying licence so can't buy the spray

Grazon 90 does a good job of killing brambles, thistles, nettles etc but leaves the grass

Sorry to hijack but I have the same problem but in a bluebell wood - we've had it for a couple of years and it seems like the brambles are gradually choking the bluebells out. I'd prefer to spray them back but don't want to risk the bluebells so I think I'm stuck with a flail mower or similar.

 

Anyone else had similar experience?

 

Thanks

If you wait until the bluebells have gone to ground you will be fine

OK thanks - may try a couple of different methods this year and see what works best and report back.

Moving the soil that they sit in is the best way to kill them if you get at them with a tractor.
