    Dont think so, spot spraying allowed only, thats what my planner tells me anyway. I have miles and miles of fencer wire, but with the , hedge clippers & strimmers, all you need is patience & time

    I seem to remember something about sprays not being permitted within a few yards of a hedge/ditch base - I'm not sure of the exact details though:confused:

    IIRC you can spot spray noxious weeds like ragworth and thistle but cannot use eg grazon 90 along any section of hedge. All either cut with hedge clippers or briar hook or hedge trimmers once every 5 years.

    Next year.... ah next year briars wont bother me again:)
