Although I don’t have an answer to this, I want to thank you for going holistic.

About all you can do is continually cut them back, if you don’t have any goats/sheep that will. After continually being cut back they will finally die out, but it takes a while.

I agree. This is a natural way to keep them under control. Part of our pasture was covered with them. After mowing with a finish mower for a couple of years, they are now all gone. Keeping them from going to seed (making berries) will eventually eliminate them.

Aloha 🌋 Hawaii

Hawaiians always used the Aina (land) and Kai (ocean/sea) to resolve issues naturally because they understood there has to be balance to have an abundance. We use sea water or at times since we are quite a distance from the ocean, we get road salt from the feed store and add equip parts to water and spray. The salt dehydrate the sucker roots that take up the nutrients and the plants or weeds we don’t want die. You might have to spray a few applications but it does work well. You can then safely clear that area and repurpose the soil with decomposing matter if you want to grow anything.

We have bramble bushes that we brought here to contain cattle and it’s out of control everywhere on the mountains now.

Just a suggestion of what we do here in beautiful Hawaii.

Aloooooohaaaaa 🌺

When moving in to our house last fall the yard was nothing but black berry vines. After cutting them back I let the chickens run the show through the winter. Only 3 chickens and a Turkey is what I had. This spring only vines that came up were the root balls bigger then what the could scratch out of the ground. So maybe a chicken tractor along the fence line.
