the bramble from hell

[fab83]

No matter what i do this rather large bramble keeps rearing its ugly head every couple of months. Its too deep in the ground to dig out (believe me i have tried!!!!!) and i have to take a hacksaw to it when bits sprout out. Can anyone suggest something that will kill it once and for all??

SBK brushwood killer. Mix with paraffin as instructed and it does exactly what it says on the tin

Thanks, i'll look into that! probably should have mentioned that i have a dog, but i'll check how toxic that concoction is and how long i would have to keep him off the garden.

You could try suppressing the little b-ugger with thick membranes of polythene weighted down heavily with bricks. Now surely not even a mighty bramble could survive that .

It will, i twill just pop up some where else,weither people like it or not weed killer is the only way to go,it should not harm the dog as I do not think they eat brambles, or you could do what I do and live it and make jam out of the berries,Jesssus how I hate that jam
