Need a heavy weed killer
-
Carol Young on Jul 03, 2015Drag a large piece of chainlink fence behind tractor with large rocks (boulders) on top to break down the brush. Google using farm grade vinegar to see if it will harm the horses. Problem with using vinegar solution is it will kill grass also unless you spray each bush individually.Helpful Reply

Bonny McDaniel on Jul 04, 2015See if a neighbor has some goats that you can let into the pasture for a few weeks. They are used for brush control all over the West and do a great job in eating brush. Some types of brush will die if they are deprived of their leaves but there are others that will sprout again so it might not be permanent but it should let enough sun onto the pasture grass for awhile.Helpful Reply

Susan on Jul 04, 2015Honestly, the goat suggestion is the best. The farm grade vinegar might work if your area is small. For large scale control, contact your local agriculture extension agent (I think most counties have one) or the ag department of a university for chemical alternatives. This is NOT A DIY solution - you need professional input here.Helpful Reply

Andrew on Jul 05, 2015If the brush is big and woody enough (stems half an inch thick or more) I would get a cordless drill and a syringe of pure glysophate and spend time drilling a hole or two in each plant and injecting the glysophate. It will kill the entire plant.Helpful Reply

DORLIS on Jul 06, 2015That is the only way I would use Round up. You might try the same with pure vinegarHelpful Reply

Bonny McDaniel on Jul 07, 2015What type of 'brush' do you have? Some types of vegetation don't respond as well to Round-up as others.Helpful Reply

DORLIS on Jul 08, 2015even with the drill and syringe round up method. You may have to repeat 2 or 3 times especially if you have poison ivy, japanese bush honeysuckle.Helpful Reply

Bonny McDaniel on Jul 09, 2015I think we still need to know the name of the brush you are working with. There is a triclopyr herbicide (Garlon 3A or Garlon 4) that will kill broadleaf plants but not harm your grass in the pasture which a glyphosphate (ie Round-up) would kill the grass unless you use the drill and syringe method. Even then, there might be some grass die-off if the brush has surface roots.Helpful Reply
