so I will give Remedy Ultra a try. I get my crossbow in 5 gallon increments.
This fall I have been in LA so I have missed my spraying window. Bummer. Something very wonderful about being Chemical Ali for a few days.
I wanted to add a few notes in addition to my diatribe.
If you see a big pile of blackberries, 90% chance there is something in there, hopefully a downed tree, if you are unlucky like my a 50 gallon drum or a pile of metal fenceposts or just a big roll of sheep fence (that took me nearly a day and a half to extract my tractor and get it out of the mower). Proceed with caution when cutting down blackberry piles.
My mower is attached at the front. So I lift my mower up, and set it down, working my way into piles. If you back into piles with a conventional system, consider lifting a bit.
If you are totally green, and don't like the thoughts of chemicals, I have pretty good luck with just mowing a lot. then putting down grass seed. Eventually the berries get choked out.
The reality of berry control is once you have them, you will always. Berries love poop, and once they get injested by your local critters they get spread quickly. Even if you kill them all off, they will come back.
I strongly suggest eye protection any time you go on attack on the berries, wether it is just a eye glasses or better yet, the full face mesh chainsaw helmets (as suggested earlier). Inside all berry patches are old dead canes that seemed to have hardened in their decay. A whack with one of those will keep you in tears for hours.
You will get hit, whacked, poked by berries. They seem to almost be alive in their defense. They will do eveything to pay you back for killing them. You will be picking berry thorns out of your body for months to come. You get poked, and the tips break off deep, then fester a bit and, well, anyway.
