Title: Getting rid of Brambles
Post by: cwmearl on November 07, 2012, 09:10:17 pm

Anyone got any good tips for getting rid of brambles? Two of our fields have been partly taken over by them, I'd been busy with a brushing hook to clear them, but was wondering if anyone had other ideas or tips for stopping them coming back. Thanks

Goats to take the tops off, followed by pigs to dig the roots out.

Goats - where in Wales are you?  Would you like to borrow some?
