How to get rid of Blackberry Vines?
#17
I like the goat idea but I'm not sure if it's a permanent solution. I'll ask around and see if there's anyone that provides that service here.

I've read that the best way to get rid of the vines (without chemicals) is to dig up the root crown, the knotty section which is just under the surface where they grow from. It's also the most labor-intensive. I think I'll give that a try and if it doesn't work or is too difficult, I'll try Roundup and constant mowing to kill them off.

I had a small section on my own property that I cleared by digging up not only the crowns, but as much of the roots as possible. My latest research tells me you only need to remove the crowns. I still get a few tiny sprouts but they're easy to eliminate. It was hard work and I may have to hire someone to help.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I'll post again when my project is done.
