Stump killer

[WoodED]

Very good but expensive, £100 for 1 1/2 Ltr if i remember rightly.

 

timberel, yes its fantastic,, im unsure of the cost but that and round up pro are all we use for stumps

We use SBK on any stumps we need to kill off, with a cover nailed on top.

Only costs about £10 from garden centres.

Be careful here as AS has been withdrawn for use as a herbicide application, i.e. stump treatment, although it can still be used as a compost accelerator, or similar, I believe...hmmm!

 

ALSO remember if you are aplying any herbicide as a stump tretament then you are bound by the Pesticide Regs requiring stock controls records, usage records, correct storage in labelled pesticide store, qualifications to apply (PA1 & PA6) and probably lots more.

 

Hence we often recommend to small business contractors who don't do large scale applictaions to simply prepare the stump and then tell the owner to go to their local supplier, garden centres / DIYs etc., and purchase and apply a proprietary product themselves...problem solved.

 

Just for info.

 

You're ever watchful AA Teccie....NURD!!!

PS I always found Triclopyr (Garlon 4) verty effective, even on Robinia which suckers profusely.

 

i am with you on this one. i usually bore downwards about 2 inches deep straight into cambium at 3 or 4 places and advise customer to add glyphosate themselves.

Also would use of the eco-plugs require pa1 and 6?
