spent another two hours today on my lottie and have now cut back the brambles, :D
and have plenty of scratches to prove it! :'(
next task is to dig the roots out, made a small start today but soon gave up as the old back was starting to groan, brought some root out compound today as i have some tree stubs in my garden to dispose of, it says on the box you can use it on brambles, any thoughts on this? all replies most welcome, i might check out the wiki. :)
I thoroughly recommend it. I've used it successfully on large shrubs, and the great thing is it's harmless (if used properly) and it turns into a fertiliser.
