Evening all I used some of these Ecoplugs on a job today, to stop the tree re-growing. First time I've tried them. They're very easy and convenient but seem to be a trifle expensive. The customer wanted two trees taken out completely. One was an Ash with a 2ft diameter butt after I'd cut it at ground level. The instructions specified that the plugs should be put in at 50 - 60mm intervals around the perimeter. I was shocked at how many this would have needed so did them at about 100mm instead. Even so this needed 17 of them which works out to a cost of about £11. The other tree, sycamore, was smaller but in total I reckon I spent £19 on the Ecoplugs. I'm surprised, I didn't expect them to be so expensive to use. Anyone else have much experience of using these things? Does that sound about right? I'm sure it would be a fair bit cheaper to use some other kind of readily available strong Glyphosate weedkiller/stump killer. What do others use to stop re-growth on unwanted trees?

Been asked by a client to trial some Rhodo drilling and injecting with a 10% glyphosate solution during the summer. Has anyone done this and if so what were your results?

I think it's a case of getting the old table salt out again, for poisoning the stumps! Archives of Toxicology, Volume 86, Number 5 - SpringerLink And if you can't be bothered to read it, a quick synopsis: Monsanto's Roundup is toxic to human DNA even when diluted to concentrations 450-fold lower than used in agricultural applications Glyphosate (G) is the largest selling herbicide worldwide; the most common formulations (Roundup, R) contain polyoxyethyleneamine as main surfactant. Recent findings indicate that G exposure may cause DNA damage and cancer in humans.
