Clearing fence rows.

Thanks for the replies. So, you're saying diesel will kill mesquite? Just spray it on the needles? Kills the roots and all? It would maybe work on blackberry bushes, too.

spray at the base of the bush and let it soak .

You're saying you have a 50 gallon sprayer in the rear of your UTV? Just curious, but do you have a passenger who is operating the wand?

You use 2 quarts Grazon P-D. Is that premixed or do you have to mix it with water? "Remedy" is the brand name? "Surfactant" is the generic designation for the last chemical? Which brand?

No. I am a Farmer. I drive and spray w a wand at same time. I just make sure I am on upwind side. Grazon and Remedy are both Name brands. There is generic equivelent on market but price is nearly same. Just buy surfactant. It is such a miniscul part of total price, aint no use in scrimping there. This mixture will kill broadleaf, small trees, briars etc. Will not kill Bermuda, Bahahia, crabgrass etc. Roundup will kill those. Decide what You have and what You want to kill. Roundup and Remedy are not "regulated" herbicides. You will have to have license to purchase Grazon tho

Dish detergent (like Dawn or Palmolive) is what I use for surfactant.

I just use actual surfactant ... but only with certain lawn herbicides.

For 41% gly application around the house, I mix my own and use a generic spray bottle.

Menards had the cheapest retail 41% gly last time I checked around.

"Goats"
Hey Wheelgun, are coyotes a problem for your goats? They use them around here but there has to be a burro/donkey for protection.

Don't have goats, yet. Coyotes, feral pigs, deer and other critters plenty. I am concerned about chemicals and beneficial insects and other critters.

I use roundup or ground clear fairly often, but I use care when applying or handling it. We live in the country and our landscaping is old enough that dirt has blown in and weeds will grow above the ground barrier. In younger days I would spend some hours pulling weeds out by hand but now my age won't allow me to do that so I rely on chemicals instead.

"until Monsanto won a lawsuit a couple years ago and has a monopoly on it again."
HUH????
All sorts of generic glyphosate on the market as of last week. Where did you get your info???

"Glysophosate builds up in the ground water. I won't use it."
Proof??? Not that I've heard about.

I don't feel any level of contamination of my water is acceptable.

Why ask AI if you have to research the information AI supplied ?

"I don't feel any level of contamination of my water is acceptable."
In that case you're SOL because EVERY public water supply has 'tolerances' of 'contaminants'. ;) :unsure::oops:
