Default Getting rid of brambles.

The message et
from The Flying Hamster contains
these words:

What's the current best thinking on how to kill off bindweed and
nettles? We've got a nice little growth of both of them on one side
of the plot and I'm up for anything which will make the job of keeping
them down easier (mowing isn't an option as the ground is 'uneven')


Glyphosate on the bidweed, and you can strim the nettles or zap them
with glyphosate.

I've been experimenting with bindweed: every time a new bit appeared, I
pulled it. I started early in the spring and I've just pulled some
today.

Poison the gits.
