... You ever tried clearing a yard or whole garden overgrown by wild blackberries for years?

God, they're delicious, but they are EVERYWHERE, regrow as soon as you turn around, and you either are very slow and careful or get hurt a lot. Nasty little suckers, those thorns.

I'd guess OP has the same trauma as me

Got a few growing in my front garden, just cut the sections of thorns from time to time. Dunno what else to do with such a tiny garden really. Nature does its thing there.
