In this video I explain 4 basic techniques how to remove 200+ blackberries or brambles without using any toxic chemicals. No RoundUp! It was a ton of work and then you still will want to keep up on pulling any new baby shoots for how long? I'm hoping only 1 spring, summer season. My hope is that none come back after the winter. #KillBlackBerrries #removeBlackBerries #RemoveBrambles
Blackberries are highly invasive and if you want to get rid of them, you will need to get motivated to rip them out. After you acheive removing them, you will have some easier low maintenance monitoring and killing any new babies for a season or 2.

Awesome, the cultivator for the win

@BrandonTran 2 дня назад

I don’t know if I’ll ever do an update video. This summer I pulled about 20 sprouts and all clear for the rest of the season. It’s so hot. When I started there were 200+ mature blackberry canes. My effort is working! I’ll see how spring 2025 looks and the new growth should continue to dwindle.

Thank you, this was helpful! Happy for the turtle too aww 😊

Glad it was helpful!

@LifeDIY Месяц назад

Same issues here. These things are invasive and the roots run deep. Glad you guys found a home for the turtle. :)

@BrandonTran Месяц назад

Indeed they do run deep!

Great video

@BrandonTran Год назад

Thank you! I feel like the blackberries gave up after pulling a couple times. But we will really see next spring :)

@TabTonic Месяц назад

Yea man. This is the only way. Keep it up! I'm also fighting.

@BrandonTran Месяц назад

Thanks! Will do!

You are a hard worker 🙌🏽 I also don’t use sprays and it’s a battle. Have you ever tried or heard of someone covering that area you cleared with black plastic? This is something I think might work! I’m wondering if I covered with plastic for at least one year… if that would eradicate forever 🤔

@BrandonTran Месяц назад

That’s a fun experiment :) - I’m unsure if it would work but worth a try. I think my land is a little too large for that. But I’m curious now

@trougnouf 4 месяца назад

Do you have an opinion on cultivator vs fork? (Did you pick the cultivator because that's the one tool you own or because it's the better tool for the job?)

@BrandonTran 4 месяца назад

Yes I preferred the cultivator because I could keep going without concern for rocks. Also you can dig and pull easily. I bought the 4 tine cultivator for this job. The hill is looking amazing this spring. The grass is maturing and all the hard work has paid off.

@marymesser4921 4 месяца назад

How about a tiller. Ryobi had an attachment for a tiller or plow? Would that have worked?

@BrandonTran 4 месяца назад

Yes a tiller is great. I had too many rocks and this hill is steep. If it were flatter I would till!

@luzi29 Месяц назад

I am working on my hill for two years now… but I agree this is the best method but you have to frequently check for regrowth

@BrandonTran Месяц назад

Good call! Well I mow mine once a month. Year 1.5 I’m seeing a few saplings. It’s much much better. Maybe year 2 will be better

@longandshort6639 2 месяца назад

Get an Oregon mulching blade on your strimmer. It will blitz them real fast.

@BrandonTran 2 месяца назад

Sounds worth a try!

@CaptainYakima 17 дней назад

@@BrandonTran I second this. Make sure to get the one with 3 blades, not the one with two blades. It balances better.

I have a feeling you are going to be seeing blackberry for years to come. I planted one in my garden for the berries, then decided it needed more space and so moved it. The plant I moved died. It’s been 4 years now. I have pulled every little bud that had tried to break surface, pulling daily, I’ve ripped up a foot of dirt pulling everything I could find. This year I went down 2 feet, pulled everything I could find, used a tiller on it then filled the hole back in tilling every 6 inches. I only pissed it off, and it’s back with a vengeance. Was hoping that the tiller would tear up anything I missed but I think it spread it. :(

@BrandonTran Месяц назад

Ok based on your experience I’m going to have to have a plan B. It’s only been 1 full year since I did this. I do have an amazing grass hill at this point but they are still popping up 25% of what it used to be. I was hoping spring year 2 would be better and continue to die out. But in your experience that’s not the case. Well, all I can do is continue and then will see in year 2. I’ll try something else next. Thanks for sharing your experience

@sparkyfire8123 Месяц назад

@@BrandonTran hopefully it works better for you than it has me. I haven’t used any chemicals as I’m growing for food. Also I worked on the soil quite a bit to make it more fertile. But these plants are notoriously hard to get rid of. Best of luck to you. Hopefully you’ll continue to see a decrease in plants.

@user-dp5nc7gp6u 4 месяца назад

Great video. Not trying to be a jerk at all, but I read you aren't supposed to move turtles to new locations because they were where they were for a reason, and will try to go back.

@BrandonTran 4 месяца назад

Thank you! It’s important to call out that we didn’t do the best thing. That’s how I learn so I appreciate that knowledge share. I hope the little guy is ok but I haven’t seen him since the move :( I’ll do better next time I see a turtle and educate the kids. Ok what’s your take on moving a ground mole? Bc I moved 2 of those. They destroy my yard however they doing what they’re supposed to do. Eat grubs and aerate the earth. But my human grass self wants them to not destroy the lawn.

Why killing blackberry’s there are delicious

@BrandonTran 3 месяца назад

Yes I love blackberries too! These don’t have fruit and are just a ton of thorns. We want to have a nice clean hillside :) I wish I could just attach a pic. It looks so nice right now!

@Lucas_roblox720 3 месяца назад

@@BrandonTran oh ok so you want to get rid of the one that has a lot of thorns and no fruit

@BrandonTran 3 месяца назад

Yes you got it :)

@1stGood-Girl 2 месяца назад

There are tons of places overgrown to pick blackberries for eating but believe me you don’t want them near your house…they take over very quickly. Years ago I bought a 3 story house on acreage in Hockinson, Wa., it had been repossessed and sat empty for years. The blackberries took over the 3 acres and grew up to the roof on that 3 story house!!! The Bear’s in the neighborhood were having a Hayday!!!
