Yes well worth mattocking them out or cutting and dabbing them while they are still small - let me know if you want me to do the weed control

These will probably need to be cut and dabbed, given that most of them are growing in amongst rocks. So it's probably beyond my capabilities, as it stands, I'm more than happy to lend a hand if you need it, :).

Thanks - I can deal with them

Plants cut and dabbed with glysophate along with a few nettle tree and ash saplings
