  1. #1

    Best place to get a Garden machete or scythe in Cardiff.

    I've got a big area of head high brambles behind my house and wondered if anyone knows where to get something to deal with them. Cheers in advance

    Judging by the thread title I thought someone had pissed you off big time.

    A Garden centre. I'd just get a shovel and batter the **** out of them until they're low enough to cut and dig out.

    You want a Bill Jook, rather than a machete.. The downturned point allows you to slash and pull, rather than just hack away.

    Get some concentrated gallup aka round up

    Mix it as advised

    Spray the bastards giving the leaves a good soaking

    Give it 3 weeks they will be ashes

    Absolute ponces when faced with glysophate those brambles

    or....you could just leave them (or most of them) for the wildlife and have some blackberries in the autumn. https://urbanbutterflygarden.co.uk/b...d-blackberries

    Cut it down, it'll just grow back. If you want rid of it, you need to spray it with something strong.

    If you want a large sharp edged knife you could ask one of the electric bike illegal substances delivery riders.

    Vinegar , salt and washing up liquid mixed up , spray on a dry day

    I don't think this is is effective as glycosphate but it's less dangerous for animals and pets

    And if he prunes them he'll get even more blackberries!

    Are these types of tools allowed to be carried on walks? i.e to use to clear heavy vegetation while out walking a mountain or forestry?
