If you want to plant in the area after you've killed the brambles and it's not grassy then use glyphosate based weed killer.
Both will kill your brambles and stop them from growing back. Whichever weed killer you use you may still have to pull out or dig out your bramble bush. What weedkiller kills ivy? Glyphosate and triclopyr: Ivy that is growing vertically can be killed by severing the stem close to soil level and treating the stump with a stump and rootkiller containing glyphosate e.
What products contain triclopyr? The heavily used Ortho Weed B Gon contains triethylamine salt, which is a form of triclopyr that uses 8 percent of the ingredient. Weed B Gone is ideal for ridding lawns of weeds without killing the lush expanse of bright green blades.
Does SBK contain glyphosate? The active ingredient in SBK, Triclopyr, offers an excellent alternative to glyphosate which has been so widely used in recent years. SBK does not have a long-term adverse effect on soil, you can replant safely after only six weeks. How do you kill off ivy? A salt and soap combination is another effective method of controlling ivy. Apply boiling water to plant roots daily to kill ivy. Does SBK kill ivy?
Ivy can be superficially dealt with by snipping and ripping at the spreading rooty shoots, but this has to be an annual job. I have to agree with Snoopdog. If you have the time and the inclination, then I would cut the brambles off all at ground level and meticulously fork over the ground several times whilst lifting the nettles and bramble roots as you go. I'm sorry to say, under no circumstances would I rotovate the ground as you will chop the bramble roots in many pieces and each piece left will root.
Agree with not rotovating or tilling - hand digging is best, to extract the roots, if they don't die with weedkilling treatment. I've only just noticed your mention of brambles - these certainly won't be killed by either glyphosate or a spray of SBK. If they're large, you need to cut them down, expose the roots and apply SBK to cuts in the woody parts of the roots.
If they're small, you may be able to dig them out. Bathgate: I know you're in the States, and because I belong to a States based gardening web site, I'm aware that you guys usually have much larger gardens or yards, as you call 'em than we do here, and use of machinery to till and rotovate is normal. Mostly, in the UK, we have what you'd consider a postage stamp for gardens, even though we might think they're quite large - hence the difference in the level of use of machinery.
By the way, the term 'yard' when used referring to gardens in UK usually means a small concrete or paved area, often at the back of small cottages. It's another world! Brambles have roots that go down at least 3 feet and so will you as you try to dig all the roots up. Your first attempt at digging will be like a tangled mess of titanium barbed cable ready to claw you to death.
Quite simply the more foliage there is to absorb the chemical, the more there is to get into the plant and so more of the roots will be killer. A common mistake is to pull up, or strim the weeds before applying the weedkiller.
This means it is less effective, if it works at all. SBK tough weedkiller is specially formulated not to harm grass, so you can use it close to the lawn. However it will kill any of your precious garden plants that it comes into direct contact with, therefore care is needed when applying it.
It is very effective when used on tree seedlings and saplings, such as ash and sycamore which are a problem in many gardens. It can also be used as a tree stump killer at any time of the year, even during the winter months. The active ingredient in SBK, Triclopyr, offers an excellent alternative to glyphosate which has been so widely used in recent years. SBK does not have a long-term adverse effect on soil, you can replant safely after only six weeks. Vitax SBK is diluted in water and applied using a watering can or a sprayer.
In either case a dedicated piece of equipment, used only for weedkillers is recommended. Choose a still day when the foliage is reasonably dry. Apply carefully only to the foliage of weeds or plants you wish to kill. Use a coarse spray if applying with a sprayer: it does not drift and shield or tie back any plants that need protection. Apply only to lightly wet the leaf surfaces to the point of run-off; applying larger quantities and drenching the weeds will not be more successful.
