Appleby Woodturnings here sell bags (literally) of plugs. Have a look on their web site.
Regarding the depth you need, you probably have sufficient: I have fixed 20-15mm thick deal trim in the bathroom with pocket-hole screws (straight in, not actually in pocket holes!), and then successfully plugged to cover them. But that wasn't structural in any way, so if you need strength too, it may not work for you.

wow. chuck the baby out with the bath water.
I live less than a mile from one of the british bases and wake almost every morning to the sound of shotguns in the fields around me, despite it being a game reserve with "no hunting" signs all around. I often hear the fake birdsong as well (quite nice in a way). Luckily they are mostly quite bad shots (my house has been "killed" more than once).
What the rest of the world cannot understand is this is their way of life. The UK doo gooders get hysterical, trying to stop a family from doing what it has done for a thousand years.
Personally, I dislike the whole idea, but I am the immigrant here. How would you react if a bunch of romanians started creating about something you had been doing forever?
I worked here for 6 years before retiring and know many cypriots who "hunt" with drift nets and glue sticks. They find nothing strange in it and the appeal of eating songbirds now is greater purely BECAUSE its now illegal. It makes them feel special when the restaurant has a lock in after hours and serves the birds.
its also very big business and local "mafia" gangs can be very nasty if someone tries to stop them, even if theres a police uniform involved.
I tried the dish once, purely as a fact finding exercise, and its so bad I would rather eat at mickey D's. A crock bowl full of tiny bird breast bones that can only just yield a sliver of meat from each.
And as to trying to remove the acaia bushes.... youre 'avin a larff, aintcha?
That stuff will grow on solid concrete at a foot a week in the summer.
