5/8/2021 – Ted sprayed the Creek Field (7.5 ac) and the North Pasture (21 ac) with his new 110-gallon sprayer with the single high spray head. He sprayed GrazonNext, PastureGard, and a surfactant. The PastureGard was included to get the knockdown of the Tallow Trees coming up in many places.
The Small Field (aka Creek Field) received a higher concentration as did an area in the North Field. The higher concentration mix in 100 gallons was 10.5 pints of GrazonNext and 87 oz. of PastureGard. That did not go far enough so he reduced the concentrations by 30%.
