Is in that a bearing to go and get rid of locust trees WITHOUT hard to digest sheep farm equipment?
Part of the problem is that we mow our corral irregularly, because we don't have our own tractor. Is within a pesticide we can apply to these trees ourselves, without a tractor, to snuff out them? We started pulling them up and cutting them down, but be told the stumps could burst tractor tires when we got the corral bush hogged again.
Any ideas?
Answers: One of the best tree sprout controls is a herbicide call triclopyr, and sold as brush b gon. Most retail nurseries carry this product. You can simply spray the sprouts that come up, and the herbicide will move into the roots to destroy at least a section of it. You may need to repeat the treatment on adjectives new sprouts. It is superfluous or recommended to treat anything other than the sprout trunk, so at hand would be little damage to the soil or other immediate plants.
Simple, buy and axe and whack them off at the base- right at ground horizontal then they won't bother the tractor. Brush slayer will usually kill small trees also. Or buy a propane fueled weed burner, far-sighted of course not to use it when you would lock in the pasture on fire-- and burn the small trees at the base-- heat them up to rosy and they won't be back.
