[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3976672, member: 45773"] The first spring after moving into our house in Idaho the blackberries started to bloom. Us: "Awesome! We've got blackberries!" And that variety produced an unusually large berry that was really good. But there's only so many you can eat, freeze, cook, etc... After living thru a spring and summer growing season with Himalayan blackberries... Us: "F**K! How can we kill these damn things?" They grew so fast and so thick you could almost watch the vines creep across the lawn. One winter I burned about 500 sq ft of dormant and dead vines down to the rocks/dirt. By next summer they were back thicker than ever. We had 10 acres there. I'm guessing there was at least 1.5 - 2 acres covered with blackberries. It was a full-time job trying to keep them at a manageable level. I burned them, poisoned them, yanked them out of the ground with my tractor...nothing worked. This is a picture after I installed a Piranha Bar on the bucket: [ATTACH type="full" alt="A.jpg"]351901[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
