Treat the vines by cutting off most of the above ground length.
Now double glove and hand apply herbicide to the vine stumps. Apply herbicide directly to cross section and edges of freshly cut stems. This should be full strength not diluted. Use the cut stump treatment within 15-20 minutes of cutting in late spring. (Glyphosate, triclopyr and 2,4-D are effective against blackberries.)
Basal sprays work best in fall, pellets are effective in fall and spring but will effect other plants.
By double gloving I mean two pair of gloves in case the outer one gets torn.

The first answer to your question is quite time consuming and bloody. All that is needed is Roundup® Poison Ivy & Tough Brush Killer Plus Ready-To-Use
go to
http://www.roundup.com/index.cfm/event/ProductGuide.product/documentId/a930e4273160bbaf2072be3b9c245fd1
for a description and directions to kill the blackberries. Easy method.
After the kill is complete and the stuff is nice and dry, brittle and easily broken; I use a rototiller to mangle the mass into the ground. No double gloves, no blood, no picking up, no sweat. Then --- then IF somehow a blackberry survived and pokes it head into the sun. . . . WHAMO --- I spray it with Roundup® Poison Ivy & Tough Brush Killer Plus Ready-To-Use. Doesn't happen very often, but it does happen and the key is to be there with the follow-up.
