Q.Getting Rid Of Tree Sprouting
We have a few acres of woods we are trying to ‘clean up’. I have painstakingly sawed off most of the smaller ‘garbage trees’, but of course with the roots still there, they are coming back. Is there anything I could put on them to prevent their return (they have been crowding out smaller maples and lilac bushes)? Also, any tips on getting rid of poison ivy? I have sprayed ‘my heart out’, and we are hoping the ‘cleaning up’ project will deter prior conducive conditions (what are they for poison ivy by the way). Your answers will be much appreciated!
