Default Weedkiller for large areas of brambles


"Chris Wilson" wrote in message

I need to kill brambles on a large (11 acre) piece of land. Some is down
the length of a ditch on one boundary, other areas are in woodland and in
patches on grassland. There's probably at least one acre of the stuff in
total. I tried digging some out by the roots, but it's just a none
starter,
time wise, I need a chemical attack. I am wanting to put 3 Highland cattle
on this land later in the year so would prefer something that will still
allow this. What weed killers do you recommend and when and how should I
apply please? Please don't let this descend into a debate on the rights
and
wrongs of a chemical attack


Hire/beg/steal or borrow a good out-front flail mower and knock em down for
the cattle to trample and eat later when the new shoots appear
