      Hi Robert... Create your own wind with A Leaf Blower and also it really works great you direct the fire where you want it.

    Here in Australia our native aboriginal people have used controlled fire burns for thousands of years to control wildfires caused by lightning it’s a wonderful management tool and a lot easier on you and your wonderful little tractor Kabota should be sponsoring you for all the wonderful advertising

    When wisteria grows on a pergola or an arbor, it's beautiful. When it escapes and gets out of control and wraps up everything in its path with those huge vines, it looks like something out of a horror movie.

    Happy St. Patrick's Day! Good job on the added controlled burns! You have made so much progress! Do you have a tiller attachment for your tractor? You might lightly till where the privot sprouts and wisteria runners are growing to kill roots and underground parts of plants that may still be growing to completely kill them.

    Hi Robert, just began watching your videos, great work. Get with your neighbor on that giant mother wisteria growing on his tree. If ok’d chainsaw across that vine at 12 inches from the ground then another 12” further up. Remove this middle piece and place salt on the bottom cut. The salt will be absorbed throughout the roots and eventually die. Good luck my Friend. Great videos!

    Around 31, when you were pushing and mowing, there was the end of a tree branch hanging down so that it looked like something dancing on the lawn. But maybe it wasn't a tree branch but a happy ghost. Look and see what you think.

      The MOTHER Wisteria, is on the neighbors property, and so Robert can NOT cut any of it. so he will just have to control what it does, concerning HIS property, unitl the Neighbor, address it on their property.

    @randywaite4573 ปีที่แล้ว

    Vast improvement over the past six months. To help with your burn use a lawn weed sprayer with diesel fuel to help burn the difficult areas. It also helps burn in the direction you want it to go and some of the vines climbing above ground. looking good.

      That would be a waste of good pesticide, because pesticide is for killing pests like bugs. Herbicide however, now that would definitely kill out some vegetation, especially if he used the correct type.

    My Dad remembers as a kid, watching some older farmers put a big log across the edge of a field and set the log on fire. Then through the night they would slowly roll the burning log across the field to kill off weed seed. That would be an interesting thing to witness.

    Would it be possible to burn the real thick thick part of the wysteria forest? Just make reeeaaally solid fire lines around it and just let her rip? Since they don't seem to burn that aggressively, yet it kills the plant so I reckon it would be a solid game plan to burn it, although would probably ask a couple neighbours to come help when you actually do it just so it doesn't go out of control

Is that the reason for lack of wisteria??

It will kill all the roots.

That stuff is tough to kill. It may kill the top but underneath it’ll start more sprouts from a piece of it. Have to remember how long this Old Byrd farm sat with no maintenance. That wisteria took off laughing all the way till you got there.
