I was wondering about older stumps, because all instructions I've seen say to use the product on a fresh cut, so thanks for mentioning to cut it again. That should work on my one-year-old stump, because it's growing back like crazy.
I tried this with normal herbicide… Didnt work… This time i bought roundup… Fingers crossed… Especially because its tree suckers growing under some thorny bushes 😑
Oh man, there is a far easier method, far less messy (no toxic dribbling paintbrush) and uses far less glyphosate/Roundup.
Mix a 20% glyphosate/ 80% water solution. Add a squirt of red food colouring (so you can see where the solution's going on the stump). Pour it into a dripper bottle (I use a vape-liquid bottle). Cut the shrub/tree as close to the ground as possible (very important). Avoid grinding soil into the cut surface as you saw through though. Apply glyphosate solution immediately to cut stump. As in immediately. You only need to apply the solution to the rim of the stump where the cambium (growing tissue) is. Say 10-15 mm. (Half an inch for you imperial weirdos) You can do this any time of year.
This kills virtually anything woody, though members of the Rosaceae plant family (roses, brambles, crabapples etc etc blah blah blah) will sometimes re-sprout. Just because they are bastards. I've found Eucalyptus botrioides sprouts sometime too, maybe related to the thick spongey bark. Re-sprouting eucalypyts are great if you want more stems for firewood in 10 years time, otherwise… Most things that re-sprout will give up if you pull the shoots off. Pull down and they usually come off cleanly, taking the epicormic bud with them. If you cut them off, apply the glyphosate solution to the cut stub.
hey mate just wondering i have a property and it has very thick brush its likje a wall and would be really cool for some dirt bike trails there is lanatna small trees and heaps of vines and shrubbery just wondering what i would use to make dirt bike trails and if there is any tips or tools you would recomend cheers
My next door neighbor accused me cracked his wall 🧱 because of our weed roots suckers move but I only see one cement is little cracked on my side. What should I do?
@Greg Would this work on a bougainvillea plant? I have one in the yard, and it's got massive spikes. I need it gone so my kids to get one through the foot.
Alternately, you could drill a few holes into the stump, and pour in Epsom salts dissolved in some hot water. It completely breaks down the stump without you needing to dig it up, and does not poison your soil either. This works on any size stump.
I've been loking for a solution to the pesky tree/weeds that grow in my garden. Thank you for this video! I have subscribed to you r channel and will consult in the future for your advice on gardening issues! Great job!

what is it called
What is the weed killer called?
Would this work for ash trees?
This man… 🤣🤣🤣. He is my new best mate.
Is glyphosate 41 sl enough to destroy bushes with pump or spray?
I've seen this method used before but have never tried it, going to get weed / brush killer today and give it a try. Thanks.

Wow ! Thank you!
Why show treatments but no results

Thank you for sharing the tip
Should play a killer in a movie. I was scared until the end and nothing happened
Does this work with your ex wife 🤔 🤣😂😂🤣🤣
Great video. Do you think this would work on bamboo root if I cut the main root coming under my neighbours fence and treat it?. Many thanks
Good farming.. 👍😎

So I believe I heard you say you used ROUNDUP? I wasn't sure because your little bottle of black fluid looked mysterious like a special witches brew
Helpful 😊👍
How did you go from this to Fast food reviews lol ?

Can you do the hack and squirt method with that same poison?
It can kill you too

That doesn't always work. Some plants keep coming back I can assure you
How do you get rid of poison Ivy? ?
Roundup? No thanks.
put that chit in a NERF water pistol
By the look on your face you enjoyed killing those bastards. Thanks for the tip, and also those in the comments,
Do you dilute the roundup or use it full strength?
gatro…

Great video Greg.
What product are you using? Which exactly Roundup?
WHAT TIME OF YEAR DID YOU DO THIS??? Better do it in the FALL when the SAP is going DOWN.
We have climate change
