Why not rake up the grass etc that you have cut, pile it on the blackberry
and burn it.
Then fill in the ruts and pot holes with soil, and get a wild flower mixture
of seed and sow this over the area.
Turn this patch into a wild flower meadow, then just cut it once a year
after your flowers have set and dropped their seed.
This area will attract insects, butterflies and birds and will be a lot more
interesting than a patch of short grass, and a lot less work.
