Did I mention the blackberry vines are taking over my yard? I'd say we still have an acre of lawn, but with the blackberries and the under brush it really looks like a jungle out there in our little forest. This week I've been putting extra time into the yard work. I'm telling ya what, using clippers to clear blackberry vines can be a workout!
It is amazing what can be done in 15 minute segments when clearing under brush with clippers. I would like to hire the neighbor to come down with his bulldozer. I imagine he'd have it all wiped out within an hour. But then I'd miss out on all this great, free exercise.

blackberry vines can be a terrible curse to your yard, they are so tenacious. I think that I would use a weedeater. Someone told me that if you have very established vines that are extremely large you can get a needle (not to be used for drugs!) and inject the base of the stalk with gasoline and it will kill the plant, even the very old, strong ones. I tried it and it works. Enjoy all that excercise!
Thank you for the tip! I have a lot of very established vines! LOL Even though I can use all that exercise, I'm going to try this.
