My new Allotment plot it coved in c50 years of Brambles, other than using
a
brush-cutter blade to cut them down how does on get to kill the root? any
suitable weed killers?
Thanks

I think you have got the message from other posts. Rod's method is probably
the easiest and most effective.
If the brambles are only a few years old then it's pretty easy to get a fork
under the root crown and drag it out. Very satisfying and you have the bonus
of turning the soil.
As an allotment holder you will need to get used to hard work:-)
