After surveying my new little farmette, I have found that every place that would be good for gardening (sun, good drainage) is plagued with briars! If there aren't briars, there are rocks - but mostly there are briars AND rocks The rocks I can use for raised bed borders. As for those briars, I have been cutting them off at the roots but have a question about those roots - do I need to dig them all out, or can I put down a layer of newspaper to keep them from growing back up through the new bed I put down? It's not that I'm lazy or anything it's that I have a lot of ground to cover before planting season has come and gone. Any briar experts out there?
