taking out blackberry brambles

[ppfuf]

Somebody, but lord help me if I can remember who, asked me about blackberry removal. learnteach's recent post reminded me. Normally I'd say trim the vines back as far as you can and dig out the rootballs. However, if you are looking for the nuke-it-from-orbit option, you need to get a bottle of Ortho BrushBeGone. It's really nasty shit, so follow the directions carefully, make sure there's no wind and wear gloves. You can get bottles of it at places like OSH or Home Despot, but have a plan on how you are going to get it home. Layer in several bags, or put it in an old bucket. Buy the smallest amount you can, you don't need much and your city might not let you put it in the trash.

Ah yes, now I remember. You'd found a unicorn horn for the next PPF. I'll send you some email about that later. Thanks!
