A friend relayed a story to me of a neighbor who decided that he wanted to
get rid of a tree.

He decides, for whatever reason, that it would be best to kill the tree
before cutting it.

His method to kill the tree: mix together FIVE GALLONS of "Roundup", FOUR
GALLONS of "Weed B-Gone", a bag of Scott's granular weed killer, and a half
gallon of TURPENTINE ("for extra good measure"?) and pour the concoction
into the ground at the base of three tree.


He'll probably kill everything within 100 feet too.

Why not just gird the tree? By that I mean cutting all around through the outer
layers and get slightly into the real wood of the tree. Keep the channel open and do
not let it grow together or grow over. The tree should die, given time.
