bramble

Question

I have a bramble in my garden which is starting to take over. Please can you tell me how to stop it without killing the rest of my shrubs?

Answer 1

You can use Round-up, but only in a very localized fashion. Cut the bramble back as best you can and then paint the fresh cuts with Round-up. The bramble will suck the Round-up into its roots and this will go a long way to killing the roots. You may have to repeat 2-3 times, but every time you do it, it will weaken the bramble.
