    Thanks @Crazybeelady
    In my late 20's when searching for my first home I viewed where I live now.
    As soon as the vendors opened the front door and I saw right down the 150ft garden I knew I'd found my forever home and couldn't wait to get started on the garden - they had 4 children and the garden was a tree filled mess - the storm of 1987 soon changed that when 7 mature trees came down overnight.
    35 years on I'm still very happy here :)
    Mind you, It's not as easy to look after now as it was..

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

  • This is a simple way. Hack it all down physically, to ground level. Remove bramble roots.  Lay turf (don’t seed grass), mow the grass. Do this for a year or two.
