New question, any homeowners dealt with widespread noxious weed control?
I've got 2-3 acres of forest (mainly ash and very old apple trees) that has been completely taken over with garlic mustard, and have a notice from the town that I'm required to "eradicate" it. Hand pulling and bagging (recommended) is going to be about 1000 hours labor. I started spraying...but I'm looking at 300 gallons of 1% spray to cover everything...and that will kill all the good stuff too. |

Best bet is to brush hog the **** out of it, then spray. Just did a GIS....I've got that **** all over my property (3/4 acre of yard)...I just spray or weed whack it every once in a while. If the woods are 'natural', why bother? No one is out in the woods of public land, clearing this ****. |

I'm actively house-hunting so this thread will soon be relevant to my interests.

So I've pretty much ****ing had it with contractors. Half of them don't bother to even return your call, of those only half actually show up for the appointment and then I get a quote that's completely unreasonable. All I want is a garage and a breezeway added to my house. I don't want marble floors or solid gold screws or ceiling joists made out of whale ribs or anything. I don't care if its insulated or drywalled. I don't care if they bother to put a room above it. How the **** can this very basic construction cost 70K? I could buy a manufactured home WITH a 2 car garage outright for 70K. One quote was for $78,500.

What does the site look like where you want to build? Is it level, have any trees? A 'standard' 2-car garage with foundation, framing, permits, etc will likely cost $45-50k. Nearly $80k? GTFOOH. |

That reminds me, I need to start calling to get quotes on painting the house. Not looking forward to it. Considering going with ceramic coating instead of stain so I don't have to do it again.

Unfortunately, nothing eats this. They are researching biocontrol, but there's nothing yet. I guess goats will eat it...but my work blocks that rentagoat site. |

So, maybe something about what you're asking for or the way you ask for it seems unreasonable? |

Its pretty much the best way to kill them. They will come back after mowing and pulling is too much work. Keep spraying and they will be gone in a couple months.
