Thanks. This new herbicide (MCM 60) is supposed to knock them out. Doesn’t burn them down, but they don’t come back next year. The key is to spray while they are flowering, so only a short window. I’ll let you know next year how it works. :-)

I heard about the same chemical from them on a podcast. Is your's flowering now? I was planning to hit mine in a couple weeks.

Curious what the advantage of that chemical is over gly? Cost? Seems a little goes a long way. I would be a little nervous about the long cycle to see its efficacy. That’s a lot of effort wasted if you have to wait a year and find out it didn’t work. I’m always up for finding new methods so I’d love to know the advantages

Yes, it just started flowering this week, so we hit it on Saturday.

My understanding is that it is effectiveness. More effective than gly to actually get a kill and stop the spread. Here is what I bought: https://www.keystonepestsolutions.c...402&gbraid=0AAAAAD_TCfT1AFAZdhTWugy5qHLK90zFl 16oz will cover 32 acres at 1/2oz per acre.

That said, this is first year, so you can always wait and I'll let you know how it went. :-)

I’m definitely open to something new. That stuff is the definition of a little goes a long way! May pick some up to try it. Lord knows I have enough lespedeza to experiment on

The ever-spreading influence of @SD51555 :-) Looking forward to diving in. Looks pretty technical and no pictures, so hope it's not over my head. :-)

It's not a reading book. It's a reference manual for looking up weed conditions. I haven't even read the front part of the book. I just went straight to the 50 pages of individual weeds and what they are telling us is missing.

Ah, so chart == pictures. Maybe I will be able to understand it. :-)

Pleased with how the new number plot is looking… this cam is facing the direction of my tree stand.
