Hello everyone, I am having a problem on my grandma's property,which is where I live and hunt, with invasives.My biggest problem is the so called "Mile-a-Minute weed".It is beginning to cover everything and is to the point that it is climbing trees.Now that it is dead for the winter what can I do to prevent it from coming back? It covers alot of area,but most of it is to rough of terrain to mow with the tractor.Do I have to go out and physically remove it all or is there some kind of herbicide I can use?
Another invasive I have is the tree of heaven.I dont really see a problem with these though.They are growing in the old fields that havent been farmed for a few years.I plan on pulling them out so I can begin to plant food plots but it seems the deer are using them.They are using them as cover,because they grow in groups of about 30 trees close together, and also the bucks use these trees alot for rubs.Are these trees truly worthless to most wildlife and should I get rid of them all? Thanks for any help guys,I'm trying to make this better habitat and any help would be great.
