We're talking *seriously* overgrown. Brambles have grown to over 8 ft
high and spread into my garden. The rest of the garden is different
weeds but the whole plot is overgrown.

She spends her time looking after her elderly father and watching TV
and seems to have no inclination to do anything about it so I was
going to offer to help.

Apart from being a good neighbour, I may want to sell my house next
year.

Can anyone recommend the expeditious way of clearing all this
(particularly the brambles). The area of brambles is about 6 feet
wide, 8ft high, 20 feet long?

Thanks, Ed.

Either SBK (serious stuff) or Glysophate. The latter is friendlier. Or a big
industrial-strength petrol strimmer with a metal wire, which is an
afternoon's fun with a boy's toy.

Or a chainsaw, hedgetrimmer various applications of these until it gets
short enough to burn safely.
