  • Today we took on this nasty overgrown property with lots and lots of blackberries! The previous owners neglected to maintain the backyard and the blackberries took advantage! The new owner desperately needed help and thankfully we were able to come and save his yard and allow him to keep doing other more important projects. The Stihl FS-561C is a powerhouse weed eater for any lawn mowing needs!

      We had a problem with them growing on our holiday property, when my Nanna gave the property to my dad, she didn't tell him everything she knew about the place. Three or four years later, he mentioned to her that along the bottom fence line a heap of black berry vines were growing. She said "Oh, spread some of the wood ash at their roots for a few weeks". Dad flew me out to the island that weekend with instructions, I cleaned out our firebox, asked neighbours for their ash. Put it around the roots of each vine. Went back and did it again at the start of winter. When we went down the first weekend of spring, the vines were virtually dead, a couple more doses and they snuffed it.
      Then it was the job of us kids to clean the fire box and go looking for black berry plants.
      Interestingly, there are a couple of native plants that LOVE alkaline soil, and they would then grow up to replace the black berries. One of which is called pig root, and we DID get wild pigs in the property one of the winters, and they dug up the pig root.

      Pretty close! What will happen is there will be new cane growth next year, but it takes another full year of growth cycle for a cane to produce flowers. That means two full growing seasons will see fruit, then it'll be a perpetual cycle of yearling canes coming up surrounded by two- and three-year-old fruiting canes. Either way, this property owner has so many roots established - they'll have so many options on where to set up the patch!

I can assure you that I never planted any blackberries & like walking barefoot as much as possible. Doing pretty well with most of the grassy areas and don’t have any / many plants or trees with sharps that can get into the areas where me & my daughter walk around. Have to pick up some pine cones/sticks a couple times per year,have taken out a few Hollie type trees and 1 of those trees that has the spiked gum ball things on it but that about it. Beyond the tree line, I pretty much just let nature take its course.Unless I notice something that needs to be addressed. Anywho..Whatever type of briers we have in that area i mentioned ,they are like none I’ve ever encountered before.Some bigger around than my thumbs and 15’+ ,base to tip .If you get anywhere near them,they will grab you and not let go! They are horrible!When we first moved onto the property in the winter of 2011/2012 (clear cut for timber in 1993 & not replanted,for some reason.?.

Fall of 2013,spring of 2014. Somewhere in there. I took him up on the offer, but didn’t follow up with any sprays or anything else..didn’t know they would come back even worse than before. Live and learn!FF to about 1 month ago..Had around a 2.5 week dry spell, so I decided to try out some chemical I bought a few years ago & never used..no wind,nice weather..An experiment..2 ozs per gallon of water I think the directions said the mix ratio was. Whatever it was, I mixed just 1 small sprayer with mfg recommended mix ratio + a extra dollop.was able to walk the 100’ at a quick pace & redefine that section of the circular driveway & stopped,repressurize the gallon sprayer 2 more times ,walking the same 100’ back the other way at a slower pace wetting everything I could reach with the sprayer. Tops,bottoms anything I could get to.The wilting started that day & everything that was sprayed is dieing down..& then some. Might still be spreading back.Slight down hill slope.Take a wide angle picture from the same spot every now and then as a sort of timeline..I have a bigger /better sprayer,& more of the chemical.Also have some large pallets that need to go somewhere. I am Trying to do as much of the work as possible on my own. Was thinking about taking the 10” pallets and laying them on top of the stuff that is dieing down as a walk way & spraying the rest of the briar patch + the few small trees that have popped up . What do you think of that idea?& afterwards?eventually, I am envisioning a fenced in area with some raised bed vegetable gardens & some sort of small structure in the middle to keep a few hand tools & have a spot of shade,a few chairs,table,maybe a small water feature with some fish . It would be a nice place for something like that. A place to sit in the evenings and maybe grill or have a drink or something. Possibly after the briar patch is under control,have a couple loads of fines delivered,spread & tamped. Build up from there..Would love a pros opinion.. Thanks for sharing this job with us.

    If you dig the roots out, and pick up every piece of debris from the blackberry vines, they won't come back. It will take time an effort, but once all the roots have been pulled out, there will be space for garden beds and maybe some fruit trees. I hope this person's backyard ends up being a blessing to him and his family in the future.

    That is a shame. Years ago I visited a family living at the end of a long country road. On their property was a half acre of structured Blackberry vines. They were totally cultivated to allow someone to pick the ripe berries without having to weave in and out of thorn filled vines. It was awesome! If they would have cut the vines so a body could walk through rows of seasonal delicious fruit.

    As a personal rule, because I'm poor, I try and I will do most of things myself. This ain't one of them. Hats off to you sir

    You guys work like real men. Great job. Ps men and lady’s. I know lady’s can get down too! Hard work equals a good feeling u did something right. Hopefully u get paid decently for the hard work. Too many people burn others now days. Is grotesque.

    Not a gardener's night nightmare. It was a nightmare for someone who doesn't do gardening... It would have been a jackpot for me, it just needed to trim it down...

    I had the same issue, I mowed rows in it. Keep the free fresh fruit!

    I did landscaping for 30 years. Been there, done that. If you have the right tools and a plan for how to progress, they aren't so bad. It is a shame though, I love black berries. I pick gallons of them in the fall where I live and freeze them, yummy!

    Jam industry right there. Never mind, they’ll soon grow back…
