How to Get Rid of Blackberries? Four Blackberry Removal Tools and Strategies | No Herbicides

[@nadajagodic]

What about blackberry roots? All of those plants you cut down will regrow. What's the point besides the control? If you remove roots, year in year out, plants will get weaker and eventually stop growing. But you have to follow each daughter plants and unroot them too.

Getting roots is effective but much more work. By keeping them wacked down they lose strength as well. Where I wanted them completely gone regular wacking and/or burning has been enough

[@2A_supporter]

This is a given but if you don’t wanna pollute the earth and poison yourself your best bet is continue to cut them until you kill them

[@tomzzzen866]

​@@howpages no, you need to get the roots.

Good vid showing multiple options for different stages of growth.

Can you use these brushcutter blades on Stihl weed trimmers?

[@howpages]

I'm not sure you'd have to ask Stihl. I would think any dealer would be able to answer that question. I would bet still has something similar mine just happened to be a Husqvarna

[@haydenlee6856]

Get a hedge trimmer attachment in there, works a treat 👌

What kind of tool did you use to burn the blackberries out with?

[@howpages]

Wait for the right day and then just a propane torch. The kind that hooks on a normal tank and has a wand. Just BE CAREFUL. Those things burn very hot and fast in the right conditions.

[@howpages]

And just one other note, I would not burn out blackberries anywhere near anything else that could catch on fire. I can't emphasize enough how fast a large patch can catch you off guard. Just a little bit of wind or dry material and boom you have an out of control fire.

​@@howpagesthank you so much!

Machetes are nice! Old canes fall to their graves from machetes.. but the fresher vines tend to bend rather than get cut… I first saw the brush cutter blade on the Tokyo llama channel, I was immediately interested!!! I just don’t have the need for that expenditure..

Best tool for this job is a Austrian sythe with a bramble blade

Best way to get rid of blackberry plants: dig up the new shoots and sell them for $4 per plant.

[@86753091974]

funny to think that anyone would buy them, so incredibly abundant where i live, but they are absolutely delicious

You should invest in a tripod. Your content is fine, but an inability to film it effectively detracts from the usefulness. A cheap tripod or a friend helping with the camera would go a long way.

Thanks for the feedback!

[@adamzuffi5913]

Yeah I could second that idea. Good stuff though, thanks for the info!
