Bristoes thread on a fire and his clearing acreage made me think of this video I saw the other day . I'm going to build a couple of these Kill Poles and see if I can rid the shooting lanes of the fast growing yaupon trees . Bushogging twice a year sucks , they just sprout right back up strong as ever here in the swamp jungle . Thought others might have a use for a $12 tool that kills the unwanted trees/brush on their property or lease .

I've been using a small paint brush. That looks easier.
I happen to disagree with him on killing brush with it though... Most applications to kill brush (and get a good ratio of kill) is to completely coat the bottom 3 feet of the brush.... clear to the bottom, all the way around the brush/tree.
I find a sprayer works much better. He's correct on the dosage. 1 part Remedy, 3 parts diesel. Doesn't have to be dyed diesel. Just diesel.

is Velpar and/or Remedy available over the counter without an applicator's license?
how about Garlon? somebody told me garlon works pretty good.

What chemicals are regulated to licensed applicators very by state.
I have had good luck with ag 40%+ glyphosate. Chop down and into the tree with an axe, making a pocket. Go the whole way around. Dribble the glyophsate into the pockets.
It works with easy to get stuff, nothing fancy.
Harder work, but they die.

Here you can by Remedy OTC.
got'cha. looks like remedy & garlon are competing brand names for the a.i. of trichopypr.
a spray routine that would not only offer top kill, but kill the roots too would seem to make sense.
then regular mowing of groundcover, etc.
down here in the southeast, chinese (& english) privit seems to be literally taking over. it's hard to get hdwood reproduction in the river bottoms any more. the privet takes over after a harvest cut. but, it does feed the deer in the winter time. can't deny that.
remedy at TSC is available for round 90.00 this year . my 60 gallon sprayer I mix 1/2 qt remedy and 1 qt 2/4d for mesquite and osage with a good soakin on the bottom of the tree
The curse here is Russian olive. Introduced 80 or 90 years ago as an ornamental, now it's a plague.
The east side of our state has plenty of Russian Olives but I really don’t look at them as pests or a plague since they usually offer the only shade and cover in arid sagebrush country. They also provide feed to many animals.
I’m not sure about Idaho but we have Russian Olive trees on the dry side that are easily 80-100 years old from my understanding and experience. If it wasn’t for Russian Olive trees there’d be nothing taller than 4ft high in the desert sagebrush country.

if anybody knows how to kill New Mexico 'Rabbit Brush' I would be more than interested. I know Monsanto was working on something but they have not perfected it yet
