Spraying Fence

[greybeard]

There's 60,000 ac of National forest around me--my piddly little fencelines aren't going to add or detract from that wildlife cover enough to make any difference.
2,4d and/or Remedy alone or as a cocktail won't kill most of the waxy leafed and waxy stemmed vines that spring up along E Texas fences--unless you mix it with diesel and that's going to kill the grass anyway.

Ever use Crossbow or Remedy?

Greybeard try the remedy as a basil bark spray. I have had good luck. No mater what you spray it will have to be repeated as briar (an assumption on my part) has a root system like nut grass. The nuts are the size of potatoes.
On the flip side for the other folks, briar is good deer plot forage.

I would be alot less worried about the spray damaging the wire than I would be the spray damaging the runways and cover and feed for the quail, rabbits, and other wildlife that use grown up fencerows to survive and thrive. Just teasing, however, I am in the group that loves hairy fence rows for the wildlife benefit and see a clean fence row as detrimental to the wildlife I value seeing. I like for my fencerows to be grown up in trees and bushes so that no one can see into the pasture from the road. I am sure alot of you would make fun of my fencerows that have 2 purposes, stop cattle, and provide for wildlife, however, I make fun of those that are bare ground. So, we are even.

I can respect that. We enrolled a bunch of low lying ground in Crep. The reasons were multiple, erosion control, stream buffers, wildlife, etc. The majority of our fence is at woods edge in Pennsylvania so Im just trying to keep a defined line. The reason for 24d and round up is its leftover from our spring burndown on no till ground. I do have some fence 15+ years with no problems but when you spray the day after you right a sizable check for the project, thoughts creep on your head lol
