Someone else mentioned a brush cutter with an Oregon mulching blade. I've got a petrol machine and have swapped the standard star shaped metal blade for an Oregon blade and it's made a massive difference. I cleared a large garden of brambles about 5ft high and with the Oregon blade it mulches as it cuts so gently moving the blade left and right or straight down it obliterates the brambles and even takes out small bushes with ease, there's a couple of videos on TH-cam, well worth getting if you already have a brush cutter, about £20 for the blade.
Brushcutter with a mulching blade. Then dig roots out. Done. The Oregon mulching blade is lighter than the other stihl blades and can probably be used on a lower grade brushcutter.
"please be kind to your environment and don't burn them" technically it's carbon neutral because the only carbon being released is what the brambles have absorbed during growth The same applies to wood etc
You're absolutely right from a carbon point of view, but the byproducts of burning the material are not exactly pleasant or healthy and won't be appreciated by your neighbours. They significantly pollute the LOCAL environment, even if only temporarily.
I need a more automated way. I have an acre of garden looking like those brambles. Please advise me a better way without chemicals - perhaps machinery ?
@@MsWagons a new style of job then? Or you keep as a driver? I think a rota vat or but I also need to dig trenches for all the drainage.. So perhaps a jcb with a rota at or digger and big bucket
Goats and/or pigs. Pig will dig them up, goats will eat them down. Sheep somewhat, but only young brambles and their wooly fleece gets them tangled up.
You can rent a gas-powered weed whacker / string trimmer (e.g. Stihl FS series) fitted with a brush cutter blade, or even better, an "oregon mulching blade". This will make short work of brambles, at least for getting them down to ground level. If they are mowed down regularly, they eventually disappear. Have a look here on youtube for loads of demonstrations/reviews on these machines
A. Rotavator is OK once the brambles have been cut down and obviously doing it with garden shears is a long old job, goats and pigs? Hmmm , yeah , all you have to do is get permission to keep them there fence the area , provide housing and water , fill in the movement forms , and feed them , cause they will not live on just brambles in spite of what hippies might think . I have a DR brush mower which is OK on shorter stuff. But I think a tractor with a flail hedge trimmer is probably the best option
Your video is short and to the point. I've watched several where they ramble on and neglect to show the most important part- the removal.

WILDWELSH PETE can they even burn there so annoying though.

@@Monaleenian best practice is to completely dry they out and use a garden incinerator.
It will give off little to no smoke
Carbon is good for the planet - don't be taken in by the nonsense of the climate alarmists.
@The Slider Do you watch anything other than Fox News to get your information?
Hard physical work digging them out!
Thanks, so the only way is hard work.
this video saved my marriage. THANK YOU. because of you lady boy memi red and myself are firmly back together.....
Aw. A happy ending and a "happy ending" UwU
@@solidsnake8330 lol
Hedge trimmer is good too.
Fun Fact I worked at the council refuse facility in which we received Garden waste....we just burn it buddy
"Buddy"? Where are you, Kentucky?
use a mulching blade on a strimmer will be so much quicker
0:27 you don't need any of this bollocks
Give us a clue please !
You don't *_need_* it but it's a damn sight easier and less-painful *with* those items.
Why can't they be burned and then used on the compost??
Most cities have strict limitations on burning, especially brush burning
thank you...
Do they make any Solutions to kill the thornbush?

Bush cutter is alot easier, it would be an easy job for a battery powered bush cutter..
There's got to be an easier way.
Pressure washer
👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣😭😭😭😭😭🤣😂
Too time consuming get a long reach hedge cutter and just wade you’re way in I’d never make any money if I did it by hand.
Just brush cut and overturn it😂
How do yu overturn it ? I am an office guy - now becoming unemployed, I need to do this the cheapest and quickest way.
And then it comes back next year, dig it up.
@@j0mpst0rt dig it over, take out any roots ect till its all lovely soil
That was useless.
So the only may to remove them is, wait for it, to remove them...... no shit Sherlock!
