Hi all

Absolute novice here.

This bit snipped
Mark Baigent

You need a good weed killer. Brambles are hard to kill. Cut it all
down and when you get fresh new growth (prob.in June) spray with
"Pastor".
This is the best weedkiller I know for brambles. It takes about
three weeks to totally kill brambles.
You need to hit the fresh growth in non drought conditions (but no
rain.)
You might need to hit ones that appear later once more.
Cut all the dead down again. If possible,set it on fire on site,
(kills weed seeds).
Best to rotovate after, damned hard work to dig it by hand with all
the roots etc.
You will need to go to agricutural supplier to get Pastor.
Pastor doesn't kill grass, just everthing else.
Do NOTspray on a windy day unless you hate your nieghbours.
Read the instructions esp. about what strength for what weeds & safety
precautions..

Here we go again. Harry, please realise that the OP, in his own words,
is an "absolute novice". Pastor is approved as an agricultural
herbicide for professional use only. IT IS NOT FOR AMATEUR USE IN
GARDENS. (I'm deliberately shouting!).

I always give the best way to tackle a job. Pastor is the best way.
And don't talk to me about "proffesionals". Work creation that's all

More Bullsh.. from Harry the expert on everything in almost posting
to 129 groups

Get yourself some SBK Brushwood Killer, get a cheap watering can that
you mark as poison so you dont use it for anything else.
mix as directed and water onto the brambles as they are growing, no
need to cut them down as the old stems will have more green leaf to
catch the mix.
If you can tread down the brambles so that you can get in further then
do so before applying, if not, by swinging the can you will reach in
about 10 to 12 ft,
Remember it will kill almost everything it hits so take care,
.................................................. ......................................

Then .. as I said before

""Spray the area with a weed killer/suppressant. Cover with a membrane.
Cover
that with 20mm stones. Place pots of shrubs/flowers etc and your seat.

Later if you want to plant anything, go through the stones, cross cut the
membrane and plant. Later, not straight away because of the weed killer..

Don't bother with grass under the Oak Tree, it won't grow.
