Hello, you'll need a round-up-pro-biactive chemical, this is aquatic approved. also you'll need to apply for a spraying licence from the enviromnet agency. Also, what spraying tickets do you have? you will need a pa6aw ticket for this type of work as the enviroment agency will ask you for this quilififcation when filling in your application form for the work to be done. hope this is some help regards western:thumbup:

is it on the stream bank, or over 1mtr away from the top of it?

In the spring, when the first shoots appear you can eat them like asparagus, Apparently. Never tried myself as I have never found it at the right time of year.

stem inject glyphosate 10ml of 20% solution August time or fold over with scaffold pole one man on each end and foliar spray 2.5 % solution summer time.

As Tom D said in the spring, and at the end of the summer.

I have no tickets, I would use someone who has, but would want to know the best way.

It is a small stream, and it starts right at the edge Tom, and there are thicker parts where the stram turns, and where the drinks blocked, the will be a patch easily 30 feet by 15 feet.

ok, seem's to be a large area!! also you can get a die that you add to the spray mix so you don't keep going over the same places:biggrin:

Inject the stem, time comsuming but effective.
