It´s pretty handy tool for cutting the bushes, chopping the wood and many other activites. I think it´s quite underestimated tool.

I like to use a bill hook machete with a sickle hook on the end to pull the vines toward me. You can cut the canes into digestible chunks for the compost pile as well, just make sure the pile gets hot enough to fully destory any diseases.

You can compost the cut canes but getting the compost pile to heat up enough to destroy all disease organisms may not be practical for everyone. That’s why I recommend burning.
