Operation Bramblerossa/TDB began today. Rite ball ache. Managed to level half of the clump under the silver birch trees. Was hoping to snip them at the base and pull them out but they were woven into one another with a bunch of rogue currant & raspberry canes in the mix too. Decided to adopt the method of gradual snipping/lopping from the tips into pieces a couple of inches in size and letting them fall. No clue what i'll do with the waste, just leave them where they land and jump on anything new sprouting up. Will probably repurpose the patches of brambles in another year.
On the bright side, it really opens up the plot not having a wall of brambles there.
