Cleaned Fence Line

BEFORE

AFTER

The neighbor John and I took down the fence with some help from a friend of theirs. After we freed the New Zealand Fence (3 strands of smooth high tensile wire)from the berries, we pulled the wire into our field and mowed down the blackberries into a mulch. Above is a picture from this summer, notice the highlighted area, that is what we mowed down.
The next day John and I repaired broken wires and restrung the fence. I think we both reclaimed about 1/4 of an acre from the Himalayan blackberries.
