Default Re: Just in Case Anyone is Wondering what happened to my Veinte Cohols . . .

I don't use chemicals when I don't have to. I'd mow all the weed if I could, but I'd chop up my drip hose. I only spray the tree rows with herbicide (Roundup, also Goal early in the year to control stubborn broadleaf weeds like malva). As the trees get larger and shade out the weeds, I may be able to avoid them altogether. I do use a weedeater also but seven acres is a lot to keep under control.
