My plot is very overgrown having been empty for about 6 years. As well as all the usual weeds it is also full of brambles, about 8ft high in places! After a lot of badgering the council say they are going to cut it all down but I shall still be left with the roots which I realise will take a while to get rid off - if ever! Would Glyphosate work on those or is there something better available? Also, and I apologise now if this is a really stupid question but this is all new to me, is it best to burn the dead stuff left from spraying? I assume it isn't suitable for the compost bin.
