Bramble clearance

Posted by AndyCharles-EnborneGardeningCo on March 29, 2011 at 8:53pm in Pesticides
I have client with a wooded area about 3000m2 that is over-run with brambles. Apart from the obvious brush cutter approach, has anyone got any more permenant solutions to clearing this without killing all the closely-planted trees?

    If you can lay your hands on a small bobcat with forestry flail you could noble the brambles and roots. any enmergents after that can be sprayed as they shoot up.

    yes an eco freindly approach is a pig arc some electric fencing and 2 pigs they rip out the roots of the bramble in no time

    Andy, we had a similar task last year (http://www.landscapejuicenetwork.com/forum/topics/options-for-clear...), but we had to clear a considerably larger area of scrub land for one of our clients 'Family Fun Day' - they bought in a Fair etc for a big celebration over a weekend.

     

    We hired in an Etesia AV95 like ride-on brush cutter (like a go kart) - made life easy and fun.

     

    Alternative is a JD with out front fail deck - but thats a bit larger and more of a handful.

     

    Or we have a walk behind DR Scout brushcutter - that maybe you could utilise ?

     

    PM if you want details - we hired in Pangbourne so not that far away...
