'Barbara',

Forget your weed killer. Brambles are shallow rooters and if you cut
them down to a level where you can operate without being scratched you
can prise the roots with a fork and drag out the offending remnants
quite easily. A stout pair of gloves will be a great help.

We have a heavy infestation of brambles in woodland and have tried
various
methods but the current favourite is chopping them up with a brash
cutter.
When they start to grow again in Spring we want to spot spray them
with weed
killer(absolute minimum) so which is best?
Any other suggestions for control/eradication gratefully received.
