What is the best inexpensive way to kill brush?
+7
I have a large area in back of my house that is full of brush, wild raspberries, small shrubs and I would like to kill it all so that I can clean it out and create a cottage type garden area with flowers and fruit trees later. I am in Chattanooga, TN if that makes a difference. I can and will get rid of the most with a chainsaw but i don't want any of it coming back. Thank you!

You can burn it as long as there isn't a burn ban on for your county or city.

oxbow is a brush killer. The fish fertilizer makes the plants take in the poison. It doesn't kill the plant. The fish fertilizer by itself is a plant food.

I just read an article on renting goats to clear brush. You might try Craigs list in your area to see if anyone rents goats. Believe the article was out east US. They bring in 4 or 5 goats and temperary fence they eat the brushjust takes week or two depending on size of area. Depending on how big the brush roots are, you can treat the roots or just till the ground and start your new garden plan. Good way to get rid of posion ivy or oak without getting it on you. Good Luck.
