    I am doing a project that involves clearing alot of blackberry brample. Currently it is being hauled away. I would prefer to have it chipped and left on site as a possible mulch.

    Anybody used bramble as a mulch? Any danger of it re-sprouting? How does it hold up for pathways?

    Hi Edgeworth,

    You have lots of work ahead of you. Yes, you can chip the canes and use as mulch. From this site:
