Hi chipper, No not even close.

I have used Tordon to kill invasive species like buck thorn and honeysuckle.

Since I've lived here since I was 14, I often come across a tree I've cut back three times before in my life. Invasive species are relentlessly persistent. After cutting the trees last fall, I applied Tordon to the cut stump.

I can report this spring - they are dead.

I wore gloves and avoided skin contact.

That stuff is effective.

My gardening is as close to organic as I can make it ( ignorance may be there, but I do not think so).

My biggest problem is cabbage loopers and some kind sole told me to use a nanometer killer vs the sevin powder I was using. Whatever the nanometer spray had, it cut the worms stomach upon eating it - it was immediate and far more effective than the repeat doses of sevin powder . I only now spray a fungicide on my tomatoes once they begin to bear fruit.

Things are wet in Wisconsin and I'm not sure I'll be able to transplant before I go fishing in Minnesota June 1 thru 8.

Crops are very late to be planted. Water standing in the fields is now gone , but the top soil is very moist.

I mowed all day today and almost got stuck in the ag field when I wanted to mow some weeds.

Grand Solar Minimum is having credibility here in Wisconsin.

Good to hear from you and hope you and family have a wonderful summer.

I think the market is days away from a good blast up FWIW
