Glyphosate

I had found some wick boom plans and designs, but have since decided to just spot spray the clumps. Did a 1/3 acre section of the pasture and results are great. Now I just keep it mowed to prevent the bull grass from making seeds. Fortunately the bahiagrass seeds quicker than the bullgrass.

no donia. This think was litterally a soft material with a tank and pump on a chasis that was litterally a 10-15ft paint roller. Like what you paint a wall with. That had bike looking wheels on each side from which you adjusted the height. You hooked it behind machine and drove it did the rest. I have search the web high and low and can not find it. Even called my buddy that has it in LA and still cant find one. But its not a home made rig.

And then boom I found it. Guess I wasn't living right

This is the one most of the folks I know have. They are the cats meow....if the shat has hit the fan. I looked into buying one until I realized the investment(not a cheap item) would only pay if my crops were filthy every year.

As far as the theory goes the rolling carpet is a superior design to the old wick setup. Fill this thing up with Gramoxone, a little water, and roll on

ah, i see. those do look 1000x more effective than the pvc/rope wick setup was.

Anyone use the wick applicator? Spoke with Rogers Sales Company over in Lyons, MS and they have a kit to make your own wick applicator. I'm not looking to spend alot of money, because to me this is a one time use. Maybe a couple applications, but once the bullgrass is controlled, I may never use the applicator again.

You can make a wick bar pretty easy. You'll have to buy some PVC and the wick rope with fittings. It's just PVC glue and a drill for the bar. Any simple mount will work. I would say your cost will be in the ropes and associated fittings.

You could also call Ag Spray Equipment in Greenwood, MS. They may be able to help.

Got pricing on the GW units. All I can say is

Only $2,950.00 for a 6ft pull type applicator. It does come with a 15 gallon tank, but still.


Going to order one of the wick bar kits and roll with that.
