Need to kill about 10 acres of 2 too 3 inch locust trees. Goverment would not allow mowing for many years now want all in just grasses. Dozing is costly even with my dozer and leaves dirt balls. Too big and tall to cut with rotary mower. Might spray but what spray would be best?? Have considered girting ( cut bark around base. Have young help on this. Would use corn knife to just peel bark in small circle. Goverment is ok with killed trees just standing so could just leave alone if dead. Lots of thorns, however I do have set of steel wheels fitting spray tractor if spray. Bought 24d lv however no directions for mixing barrel of spray for brush, just per acre direcrions which is useless in spot spray. What would you fellows use?? I know many will scoff at this , but girting or spray in dark of moon in August will kill best. I used to laugh at this but tried it and was amazed. Thanks for your help Bill
