Find out how to get rid of brambles on your property using natural methods such as goats and sheep, or using coarse salt for effective results.
Patrice has a bramble problem on his property and would love to get rid of it. There are several methods for destroying brambles, although it can be time-consuming.
Using goats and sheep
Have you ever thought about using goats and sheep to help get rid of brambles? It’s a great idea! These animals are very effective at eliminating brambles. By letting them graze on the land, they’ll gradually raze the brambles, which will eventually die off because they can’t grow back. For best results, keep them on the land for two years.
Manual method and coarse salt
In the absence of animals, the manual method remains an option. Start by cutting back the brambles. Then, as they grow back, identify the bramble stalks and apply two or three handfuls of coarse salt. This method requires patience and can take up to two years to be fully effective.
Maintain and monitor the site
Whether you use animals or the manual method, it’s essential to maintain and monitor the site. Brambles are persistent and may require repeated intervention before they are completely eradicated.
