Abahachi was miffed and I totally understand and share his pov, but since he didn't offer to come and dig it all out I no choice. I waited until the spring when the blackberries were in full foliage and then I gave them a serious spraying, within a few weeks they were all obviously dead.<br />This week I hired my mate with the tractor/bulldozer to come and clear the entire area, there was a slight problem since we have 3 dogs and the brambles had been the fence, now they were only allowed out when chained to a tree, they were not happy. But Friday evening and much of yesterday we installed 200 ft of new dog proof fence, a vast improvement. Next I'm going to dig a full width trench, line it with scrap galvanised roofing panels[to prevent roots going where they will] and transplant a row of 20ft bamboo to be a screen.<br /> So, to whoever said 'Roundup', My thanks, it worked.<br />And re. that South of France social, I'm up for that, what do you do, turn right at London?goneforeignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05903220453599675348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-55731251458381409262009-08-30T11:12:56.503+01:002009-08-30T11:12:56.503+01:00Ah - I feel a south-of-France Social coming on.Ah - I feel a south-of-France Social coming on.treefrogdemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08668655760960757921noreply@blogger.com
