tried to attatch a pic thats why i think.

Anyway

I have just taken a plot on and it is covered in at least 50% of brambles, tried strimming but the plot is still covered in the things. I am going to try and cut with a saw and cover with plastic. Where there is no brambles its grass and junk
ie glass, old buckets you know the score.

Is there any thing else I can be getting on with, I could probabley dig 25msq a day at the moment.

Thanks for you time 

And how do I add pics to show you guys

Chris

With over 7000 hemerocallis varieties named,  That would be impossible, but look up day lilies and pick the nearest match.

Easiest to burn off all the brambles as long as you can control it.  After that, it's get digging.  Not so hard to get rid of as others though as they don't like their roots disturbed.
