If they're anything like the black walnut trees that sprout in my yard, they'll eventually stop coming back if you mow them over enough times. | |||

Untrue.

The "buy a Glock" thing. I have now bought at least 6 and have retained 3. And I am not a Glock guy. Or wasn't. Not actually bad advice, just costly. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Triclopyr 4 generic name. Garlon 4 brand name. Water soluble for tank mix (hand sprayer fine) Will not hurt grasses. Will kill the oak saplings without harming the mature trees. If you have larger oaks mix it 50/50 in a hand sprayer bottle and hack and squirt into the tree. | |||

Bad advice is far more entertaining than good advice. Especially when the person asking for advice has already made a descision on how to proceed and was just looking for some moral support to justify it. | |||

jigray3, you are not thinking this through to the logical end. Let every single one of the little acorns mature into trees. Then take each and every tax deduction allowed for farmers. After all, you are farming acorn trees, which are a vital food stuff for squirrels. PIETA will honor you with a national award and plaster your face over countless billboards. Intelligent squirrels (the ones that can read) will cluster to your “farm” and then you can apply to become a National Wildlife Refuge” and receive millions in donations from all over the world. Just think of the possibilities. You are welcome.

I'm interested in learning if this is good advice or poor advice.  You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless. NRA Benefactor/Patriot Member | |||

Wonder how well those actually work on acorns. Those things are hard to rake into piles, rows, to put them on tarps to haul away. That is the only way we get rid of ours when we have another one of those bumper crop years. Damned things are like walking on ball bearings.

I think for the most part people are pretty honest about sharing their qualifications to provide the advice they have given. There are some pretty smart people here, and there are some "old timers" who've figured a lot of life out. I've learned a lot from here, and try to offer genuine advice where I believe it can help. I also try to communicate any limits my advice may have in it's qualification. Some people miss the jokes, some people have different experiences. Popcorn comes out occasionally. Off the top of my head, I can't remember any advice sought here that ended up being a bad decision. Only good ones, or friends who helped me see a problem from multiple angles. That's something I value, and appreciate...even if it's bad advice! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The trouble with our Liberal friends...is not that they're ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

Elk, read through these comments http://www.mytractorforum.com/showthread.php?t=48227 I have heard from others that the Case/Ingersoll works very well. I do not know if the Sears, Parker, or others work as well. I do not have first hand knowledge on the sweeper. | |||

It depends. The active chemical in Crossbow is 2,4-D. It is deadly on most broadleaf plants and doesn't bother grass at all. It is one of the chemicals I can use on my pastures without killing the grass. But. It is a volatile chemical. You can spray it today in a no wind condition, it dries on the plant, and you think everything is ok. Then two days from now if conditions are right (humid, steam/fog, a little bit of wind) it can vaporize and travel several hundred yards. Now the cotton farmer across the road is pissed... Something you can use that is almost as deadly as Crossbow is something called Remedy (brand name, not sure what the generic is). It is just about as good and won't travel like 2,4-D so you can spray close to (but not on) stuff you want to keep. It does cost a bit more but you can't have everything. Both chemicals can be purchased without an applicators license here in AL at your local co-op or feed store.

Nope. Forgot that old skit, many moons ago. Was erroneously giving credit to the monkey as an original saying.
