Anybody Here Use a Machete in Gardening?

[lark2]

8. I use one on the giant thorn covered hellvines.

Don't know what this weed's name is, but mom called them vines from hell because of the huge thorns and the corms grown way way down deep and are very difficult to get rid of. They get too big for the pruning shears so I use the machete to chop down the ones growing up our oak trees.

The thing that makes these so bad is they intertwine with less toxic vines and you don't see them, but you sure feel them + they always find a way to wrap around you when pulling them down and the thorns have a light poison so they really irritate your skin.
