    If you find a good solution let me know. One of my neighbors has let the back half of their 2 acre lot go to brambles also. Not good.

    hi jewel. done a little research and the best bet is a glyphosate based weed killer. glyphosate is what kills off all the woody parts. apparently if you cut them down to around 30cm from the floor and give them a good soaking you should get some results :-D
