Sorry to have missed this live. Very helpful, thanks to Edward and Clare especially. Use a paint brush to cover the stump surfaces with glyphosate once you’ve cut off the top growth, repeat twenty minutes later. This stops regrow the. I’m getting grasses and mosses back two to three years after clearing, also brambles (!) and any number of foxgloves, some St John’s Wort and wood sorrel. Many more birds. So there’s hope!
