Aerial spraying

Postby alan » Wed Oct 26, 2005 8:06 am

On a serious note I have had some replies from guys who know what they are doing and it sounds like I should leave it to these okes. Chaz did you manage to locate the article you mentioned?

Hi guys, must agree that me thinks Roundup is too light in the pants don't think you will get something that will kill a grown tree. In any case not at the rate that a micro could carry, and kill all living things in the area. Cut the tree and treat with herbicide such as Roundup and others that are better. Diesel kills a tree easily when treated after you cut it and is the cheapesed.

Cropspraying

Postby Ou Man » Mon Apr 24, 2006 1:37 pm

Alan, I would consider very carefully! Legal stuff and all. Especialy the chance of damage to crops and property of neigbours. There are quite a few products registered for bush control. Some with aerial reg.
If you are still interested give me a PM so that i can put you on the right people.(the little props are called Micron Aires and are used where low volume is required....less than 20 l per hectare)
I believe I can fly...even touch the sky

Thanks for all the interesting replies. I have decided to do it the manual way (Phineas really will do the work). Seems there are all sorts of legal complications. By the way do the little propellors make the trike go any faster :lol:
