Fingle....:
Thanks all for your comments !
I have so far used hedge trimmers and thick gloves...and yes i have the cuts to prove it !!

The big thing i think will be the cutting up of stalks and burning them.....not TOO fussed about regrowth as its easily cut back as long as you keep an eye on it.

Dont really rancy chemicals...but may dig a few big roots out...will let you know how we get on

budgiebreeder:

Garden Manager:
Why Brambles on the lottie?

I have a couple of theories

Firstly it could be because a previous tennant grew blackberries, and then subsequently through neglect they have gone wild and taken ove the lottie.

Secondly if a lottie is for many years well maintained and the soil becomes really good and fertile, then when the plot becomes disused, the brambles (whether  a blckberry plant gone wild or not) will take over and thrive on the rich soil.

I may not have had a lottie but i have seen this happen in gardens as well.
