[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1025200, member: 18945"] Whole pasture and I'll post pics tomorrow of the results of using that mix rate on about 10,000 small chinese tallow--4-10" tall, with a mix of goatweed and some other big broadleaf plant I am not sure what is. A single pass, about 4 mph with a boomless setup. If I miss some (and I do) I just go back a few days later and use the wand I have on my pasture sprayer. (again, I don't presume to infer this method will work on anything other than tallow, goatweed and gum trees--and gum trees are more difficult to kill and take longer to die than anything else.) A pic I took back in April, showing growing tallows: [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img845/2456/cowsandtallow015.jpg[/img] The wing dam of my pond with growing tallow in April--I had to use my wand on all these due to the close proximity of water--I just don't like using the broad area nozzles here and getting herbicide in my pond or in anything that can run off into the river. [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img442/6010/cowsandtallow043.jpg[/img] I will take pics tomorrow from the same vantage point after spraying within the last week or 2. I have quite a few of these--we call them Senna Beans. When they get big, they are a bear to kill and they drop beans like crazy. Took this pic the afternoon after spraying that morning. Look close, you can see the blue dye from my broadcast sprayer still visible, but it is already wilted and dying. [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img526/7899/spray005.jpg[/img] Taken the same day, wilting tallowfrom that morning's spraying: [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img853/6030/spray001.jpg[/img] Same area--dog fennel, goatweed, french mulberry, and tallow wlting: [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img208/715/spray002.jpg[/img] Wish I could use Grazon or some of the other chemicals but just can't. And for beginners--PLEASE, wear long sleeves, gloves, something on your head. I wear a hardhat, with a towel draped over my neck, rubber chem gloves, and always a long sleeve shirt. If I'm in wind and using the wand, I also wear a full face plastic face shield that I normally use when using a grinder. Remedy and 2,4d aren't terribly toxic, but if you do a lot of spraying, you just can't be too careful IMO, especially if your tractor doesn't have a cab (mine does not). [/QUOTE]
