Re: Clearing Overgrown Land

I'm thinking that if you left a spike strip in a deer corn bag, strategically placed, you could have a solid defense to prosecution with a "Oh man, that's where my raccoon strip went. It must have fallen off the truck when we left. Those 'coons can tear a feeder up, I'll tell ya. Now, about these trespassers..."

But, of course, it's your decision. :tiphat:

It can be as much as $80 a gallon, but you can dilute it substantially with diesel fuel. Add a splash of dishwashing detergent to act as a surfactant--as I understand it, it makes the solution cling to the plant.

You need not spray an entire plant. Spray just around the base, all 360 degrees. Larger brush may take a while, but it will die. I have had very good luck with it. Put that in a battery-powered backpack sprayer, and you'll be able to kill a lot of brush.
+1 on Remedy
