RM43 will kill almost everything ya spray it on and keeps it dead for months. It's 44% glyphosate + Imazapyr. I wouldn't waste $$ on the RTU version, It's prediluted down and weak with only 5% glyphosate. Might work on nettle, but I don't see it listed on the specimen label. Label doesn't...

Like almost everything else, not a total kill with remedy/2,4d. Pretty high kill rate tho. 85% at least. Just don't get in a hurry to mow after you think it's dead. Give it some time. (remedy/2,4d is also what is in Crossbow but I mixed my own. IF it has developed seed pods (they're prickly)...

It's best to get nettle early. I used Remedy and 2,4d and it worked pretty good. I never had it at my place in E Texas until I was caring for a neighbor's horse and he brought in a 5x6 round bale that was cut from his other place out near Luling. P&D works too but is more expensive because of...

When my father was young (he was born in 1918) he used to drive the school bus in or around Tyler Tx during depression era years, and Tyler is infamous for it's red sticky clay. The school 'bus' he drove was a horse drawn wagon. The few cars that were there always had trouble getting up and...

Yep. bought a fairly good one in the 1966-67 time frame as a teenager for around $20 and I thought that was high for a 16-17 year old working min wage. American Hat Co I think it was and kept it for over a decade. I shouldn't say this, but I was pretty rowdy in my mid 20s and that hat got left...

I call your feather filled hats and raise you

It was somewhat embarrassing but also funny to watch unfold..

Well, you've been married a long time now and security is what many women want in a relationship anyway. I know that for a fact because it's what so many women yell when I first start flirting with them.

Years ago, for whatever reason, I was watching the after movie credits at a movie theatre.. There are some odd names/descriptions in the movie industry's closing credits crawl.. I got curious about it all and had to look it up. Best Boy, Clapper loader Grip Key Grip Gaffer. Gaffers handle...

Within a few hours of the time of this post, in 1836, the Battle of San Jacinto was started and over with the bulk of the Mexican forces in flee-for-our-lives mode within 18 minutes and thus Texas became a nation, then a state. It changed the look and future of the USA forever. (and on this...

After a few rains and a little time, that burned area is gonna grow grass (and a few weeds) like crazy. Never seen a place that potash didn't help.

Maybe it's not their efficiency so much as the fact they just eat so much? Them feathered critters never seem to stop eating even free range.

Did they give chocolate milk afterwards Jan?

There was, a few years ago, a long, and fairly heated thread here at CT about feeding chicken crap to cows. I know who was involved in doing it but ain't gonna mention her name, but she claimed once 'cured under roof' it smelled just like chocolate. (You can look for it yourself, assuming it...
