[MAIPC] Oriental bittersweet undergrowth vines

Mon Nov 4 15:58:47 PST 2019

I agree with Todd, on the diesel fuel and treatment method. I would suggest
using the premix Pathfinder II for simplicity, I do not like recommending
mixing your own for most cases as the premix reduces exposure and clean up.
you may find the pre mix or a generic pre mix on state contract.

I find that being around the smell of diesel fuel all day is annoying.

The other thought is to understand timing. I like the treatment to be on
the stump,/ bark within a couple minutes of cutting. Usually cut a few then
treat. if you wait then the intake at the stump will be reduced

Also, I prefer a simple 1 gallon sprayer,  easy to set down, and in the
undergrowth safety wise,  if you trip you can drop it and it won't take you
down.

Good Luck,

Lane
