Will injecting herbicide into the stumps work on rhodo?

[Charlieh]

i was planning to herbicide the stumps on the day of cutting then inject any regrowth as per FC best practice guidelines, unless someone knows of another way?

[Luke Quenby]

I've heard of a paste being made of powdered lime being used, does the job so I'm told, but obviously takes longer to act, maybe worth considering if you don't want to use herbicides, probably cheaper to in comparison to say Broadsword or Timberill etc.

We always cut and then spray with roundup within 20 mins of cutting, then go back about 6 months later and re-spray any regrowth. Seems to work well.

Im just preparing the woodland mgmt plan which if your doing it well and spending the time on it, the funding doesnt really cover it that well, especially when the site is very diverse,

 

 

I take it you know about this mate - Forestry Commission - Woodland Planning Grant

 

Might shoot yourself in the foot with HLS though.

yes thats what im working on the woodland mgmt plan to allow for woodland improvement grant funding, thats why im worried about the potential issues with overlapping on HLS activities in woods included in FC schemes

Have you got a decent contact in NE you can discuss issues with ?
