Any thoughts on this are welcome.

Hi, I agree with Seahorse, I think brambles are one of my favourite weeds (if you see what I mean ) I initially sprayed roundup on them (they were 6-7 foot high ) then We cut the branches down to size and used a mattock to dig the roots out. We still have a lot of younger shoots coming up but they're much easier to pull and someone told me that if you keep pulling up the little roots, the plant will eventually weaken and die (don't know if it's true but I'm ever the optimist!)
so, I think you should go with the one you like best and good luck!

Thanks Raine & Woofster, I think I will find out this week-end if I am being offered a choice or just being told which plot I can have. I had got the idea that the choice was mine but after another phone call I'm not sure that is the case. I think it might be that they want to get one area cleared at a time but if I'm hoping that if offer to clear the one with the brambles they might agree to letting me have that one.
