Brambles working their way in to my garden.

  • Brambles can be a menace but few things beat a bramble & apple crumble. The problem is you're unlikely to get any fruits as the stems will be creeper/suckers.

    Herbicide has been mentioned and it takes quite some time to kill big plants off with spraying. An intravenous dose of strong herbicide works within days. That's all I'm gonna say image

    Hi I too live in a rented property and next door have never done anything to their garden until this week. I have blackberry brambles which have grown over onto my property and have taken hold at side and top of back. They are thick and really long and I can no longer use my washing line. I am unable to do anything myself and two years ago paid someone to clear garden but they have come back big time! I have heard the guy that owns house next door( its empty at moment) is putting it up for sale. This week he had the  tthe grass strimmed  which was really high but not touched brambles. I sent him a message asking about them and he said hopefully will be done by this weekend, I explained situation . Do I have any legal rights as his negl damage to my garden which is now going to cost money to put right? Also my Dad says there is an old law that you are supposed to return any cuttings from neighbours garden to them...anyone else heard of this by any chance ?

    See original post

     Anne- re your last part of the question......I always believed that if overhang encroaches your garden you are able to remove - but must offer the cuttings back to the neighbour as they legally belong to them. However as above, we cannot fly-tip back in their garden.
