I am surprised you have trouble digging up brambles. As long as you take out the whole node where the roots and stems join, they should be cleared. Are you getting seedlings?

SBK used to be Agent Orange, not sure if the formulation is the same these days.

when we took the garden over 20 years ago it was a orchard and head height in brambles .. and slowly we have one the battle apart from corner most of the garden is landscape mat and woodchip.. this has always been a problem corner no matter how much digging you do it just come back .. with the bindweed we have these are a nightmare in our garden..

It might ot help but was given the same information at 2 garden centres was to first snap/cut/strimmer or even scramble over the stem then spray with roundup, will have to do this several times. But will each time the bramble is meant to get weaker. I only had a very small part of my garden with brambles so only needed to do it once.
