Weed Wick

[Palmetto]

On my second pass I found this. Ran over it the first time. Close call.

Lucky! That's a tire popper.

[Palmetto]

Yes sir. Ruined a rear tire a couple years ago dragging this field.

AKA rope wick.

We used them back in the 70's to rub the johnson grass in soybean fields.

Let us know how it works!

What % solution did you use and how much did it take to fill up the sections.

[Palmetto]

Each tube holds about 7qts of liquid. I used mixted 2parts water to 1 part gly, with some surfactant. That is what greenleaf, the place I bought the parts from, recommended.

[Palmetto]

After 1 week. U can see the spots I missed. I forgot to turn on the GPS.

how much gly did you ended up going through per acre? Are you able to tell if it killed the johnson grass or just burned it?

this is something im really considering doing in my pasture.

Farmer have been using weed wicks for about 30+ years. Nice build!

i tried a small DIY hand held for my wife's flower and ivy beds, using the round lamp wicks and roundup. Leaked too much. Was the problem the wick or do I need a higher viscosity weed killer?

[skyhawk]

Probably the wick. Needs to be very tightly woven. Lamp wicks are typically pretty loose.

That looks like it works, awesome shop.
