For 3way, Dave and Kathie! is this a weed how do I burn it

It's best to wait until fall when it makes large buds and gets real sticky and stinky.
Then cut it and hang it upside down for a week or two before setting it afire. It's also best to stand downwind when it burns so as to make sure it's all burned up when you are through!

You could add Peanut M&M's to that list.

I think if you sprayed it with grazon it would eliminate it from your pasture.

I'd use RoundUp.
It's a lot cheaper to just pull it up and burn it.
If they have burning restrictions out, don't burn it all at once. just a little at a time.

Yes, Alan. It is a weed. The way you burn it is take some of the buds, dry them out, crunch them up and roll the stuff into cigarette papers. Then burn it by smoking it. DON'T inhale though. 
This is what I've been told. Never tried it myself. I wouldn't burn it. It's a good cash crop. Harvest it and take it to Colorado or the Pacific Northwest and sell it. :lol: :lol:

bag of apples and jar of peanut butter too. Sounds gross now but it will sound delicious when the time comes.

Nothing wrong with a few slices of apple topped with peanut butter! Even if you have been "burning" weeds. :mrgreen:

I'm getting in on this conversation late in the game. But I gotta tell you, Alan, I do not have a pot full of suggestions for you on that weed control issue! I've only seen it burned close up and personal once in my life, when I was about 17, and folks around my little part of the world are trying like The Hot Fire to keep it out of our County. I suggest you follow the advice of others obviously more experienced in management and disposal of that weed than me.

hehe, I'm in one of the real hot spots (*cough*) for that weed... I don't like it myself, but last year close to 100,000 plants were found in the area.

I am late to this because I was in Nevada last week. But Alan my advise is not to burn that weed. if you do you will never be able to accomplish anything. On the other hand you could pull it up and drive a short way to Longview. I hear that across the river from you there are people who will actually pay you for that weed!!! Go figure. I wish I could get them to pay me for thistles but they won't?
You know, I was watching the news the other night and they say there is a place in Kelso that sells recreational weed! Maybe I can turn it in to a cash crop if I can sell my wife, mom, dad, kids, grand kids and myself on it!...... Oh and the Feds that fly over in copters also :shock: . :hide: :lol:
