Default Is there a better way to remove a poison oak plant than with achainsaw?

Each year widen the tunnels and add connecting passages


This is actually a VERY GOOD attack plan!

It would work. And, it doesn't require a huge spraying effort.

I think that's what I'll do.

The beauty of the tunnels is that these are VINES.

The weak link on a huge vine is merely to slice it near
the bottom.

If I cut a path, that kills a LOT of cross-connecting vines!

If I cut a cross, that kills ALMOST ALL the vines at one point.

Nice idea!

Then, as you said, widening is easy, year by year.

I have the time to kill the vine!

I love innovative ideas that make sense! This one makes sense!
