We had blackberries in our backyard growing up. Every year we would cut and dig up as much of every plant as we could possibly see and we would scrape the top 6 inches of soil to move it far away.

We would burn them all before we churned the soil and burned some more.

We tried every trick and "natural" solution people recommended, but nothing ever stopped them from coming back.

My super hippy mom got so fed up she bought turbo cancer death chemicals and sprayed them everywhere. The blackberries finally stopped coming back.

It's been 15 years and shes still mad that's how she finally got rid of the blackberries.

Burn and churn is actually fantastic for the soil. Ofc they kept coming back.
