I have read about the "glove of death" or similar methods, but carrying it seems rather difficult. But if people have good experiences, I'd like to hear. I'm also curious about if anyone has found good nozzles for sprayers. I only ever have options to spray as a single stream, a cone, or a single line, all of which allow for a lot of herbicide to fall down and kill natives. Generally I do a good job of killing the phrag, but also the native stuff below it.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>Nathan<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>_______________________________________________<br>MAIPC mailing list<br><a href="mailto:MAIPC@lists.maipc.org">MAIPC@lists.maipc.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.maipc.org/listinfo.cgi/maipc-maipc.org" target="_blank">http://lists.maipc.org/listinfo.cgi/maipc-maipc.org</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
