Buzzies & blackberries

G'Day China & Terry Thanks heaps for getting back to me with this info. With respect to the blackberries, I look forward trying out both drilling the stem as well as cutting the stem and using the glyphosate in a jar method. Would you mind if I asked a follow-up question? That is, about how much stem length should be left from the ground? (does this matter?) I have all sizes to choose from Your choice I guess. If you are not going to do follow up work (pull roots out when dead, etc), then I guess as close to the ground as suits you. If you are going to pull them out after they die and roots rot a bit, leave a good bit to grip (using thick leather gloves {:-). Most of the blackberry infestations I deal with in bush regeneration are small (what blackberry? - zip it is gone roots and all). Just occassionally we find a metre wide patch and need to do a bit of work. Usually we cut below any branching in the stem. Note, roundup/zero can require 6 and 12 monthly revisits (spray fresh leaves). they do make stronger stuff that you can spray on (but full spray kit strongly recommended) |
