With the sprayer tip, thought I'd mention another, for blackberries. Given to me by a little old lady, who was too frail to wield a machete or a sprayer. She seemed almost embarassed to tell me about it, because it sounded so ridicuous.
Go up to a blackberry patch, with an anvil or bypass hand pruner in one hand and a cup of pure Roundup (or equivalent) in the other. Cut each down-pointing vine, and after you do, dip it in the cup of Roundup. Easy to see where you've been, by the cut ends.
Next spring, all the ones you've dipped, and a lot of others from the same root, will be dead. Sometime that summer, get grandson to come whack away the dead ones, so you can get to the few remaining live ones. Repeat process, and thats the end of the blackberries.
Sort of the Senior Citizen way to deal with blackberries. I thought it sounded too good to be true, but it actually works.
