Here in Okla. blackberry and red cedar will take a place over fast. I could find you hundreds of acres to pick blackberries on.
Hey, Bryant. Why aren't you picking them, or having them picked? Blackberries are a valuable resource if they are in good enough condition to retail. I'm pretty sure they have to be fertilized and cared for though, just like any other crop.

The ones I mowed were that tall on a smaller tractor. Them things about eat me up. I just knew there was gonna be a wasp nest with 10000 wasp on it somewhere in there.

That's what I usually do but was sure there wasn't anything for me to hit in that spot. When I bush hog new places I reverse.

For really big patches I've sprayed as much as I could reach. As it died I would BH that and attack more with the sprayer until I had it pretty whipped. Then I could hit it with the boom sprayer instead of the hand wand and that pretty well finished them up. I;ve got one more large patch to do. It's in a wildlife area that I don;t see very often and forget that it needs attention.
Probably very few compared to all the bird nests you are suggesting to be plowed under.....garyws":zuk2jijp said:Wonder how many birds we kill by spraying a few blackberries? Come on guys! Plow um up!
You have not messed with very many blackberries that will only make them worse. I'm not dealing with a few I am dealing with several acres. I don't want to hurt anyone on here but to be quite honest with you I don't have my place for the birds and could care less if it killed some. They don't pay for my land but I don't think it will you don't have to even remove the cows when you spray. Plus a bird is hard to poison they have a crawl and gizzard. and there is no blackberries on the vines now either.garyws":7zaqskgb said:Wonder how many birds we kill by spraying a few blackberries?
