Can anyone give me some indication of the likely cost/ac for spraying under panels with a compact tractor or an ATV, please?
The 20ac site was perm grass before the Panels went in, and now has an increasing problem with some areas of nettle and thistle that will touch the panels late in the summer. I graze the area with sheep, so am not interested in more Roundup work being done under the panels, that in all honesty, exacerbates the weed problems as the grass will compete with weed growth and is then grazed down hard.
The herbicide application is for semi-spot treatment with a Boominator style system, that can spray under either side of the machine and be switched on/off as the bad areas are approached. So not a Total spray pass, but not a genuine Spot spray pass. Guesstimate is 15-20% to cover..
Herbicide could be Forefront (expensive) or my preference would probably be a cheap, old fashioned MCPA/2,4 D mix of some sort.
