You might try a chicken tractor (movable chicken pen) just leave the chickens in the weed area until the feather ones have ripped the plants up then just keep moving them around until the area you want cleared is done. Around here we have quack grass (roots that go every where) chickens work great for ripping them up. The chickens would take longer then the pigs but I don't have pigs. Either way is better then a bunch of chemicals.

Please God remember me.

That's a great ideal but will a chicken tractor hold up to a 600 pound sow using it as a scratching post?

It doesn't get ride of the root system and the burning seems to make it come back thicker.

Keep this between you and me...thinking about getting some goats to see if they will keep it undercontrol.

I have goats they might keep it grazed down but will not get at the roots. If it is not in a big area pouring boiling water on it this kills weeds. I have done this on the stuff that grows up between my raised flower bed and the cement driveway by my garage. If it is a big area stick with the pigs or chickens.

Please God remember me.
