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

(Just as you said.) http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/11947484.jpg Otherwise, wait until the leaf growth is going crazy, then spray the leaves. (with RoundUp, anyway) This is good advice for most people - but - for me - it won't work as well ONLY because the poison oak is so thick that I can't get roundup (glyphosate) to the plant except at the edges - but the plant is 40 to 50 feet deep in places. A pro sprayer would have no problem with that. Thay can easily spray the top of 100' trees.

You forgot to research fuel-air bombs. I suspect your best bet is to hire or rent a good truck/trailer sprayer, and kill it off during the growth stage(s). I would also suspect that a 400' garden hose might not leave you much pressure at the end, either for a garden hose end sprayer, or maybe even for a pressure washer. |

Hoses expand a bit. Might have to spray for a few seconds, and then let the
pressure come back up. The pressure builds back up, and the hoses swell up a little. I've worked at the end of 300 feet of hose, cleaning a roof top AC at a mall, and it wasn't too awful bad. I was pleasantly surprised. Larger 3/4 good quality braided nylon hose will perform a lot better than kinked 1/2 vinyl, as you'd expect. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..

Luckily this situation would have the pressure washer at the bottom of the ravine a few hundred fee down the hill, which is a good hundred feet or so vertically BELOW the hose bib at the house. |

It still might work, depending on the pressure at the bib. 100' is about 40PSI, so you should have something left at the top. It is iffy, though. The most important thing is to make sure there is enough volume that the washer doesn't dry up or overheat. I don't think that takes much water. |

You can figure the pressure from elevation at .434 PSI per foot of
elevation, or 2.2 feet per PSI. Sounds like the elevation will make up for the friction loss in the hose. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Danny D." wrote in message ...

Good point! I'd worry more about having the physical strength to drag 400' of garden hose about, on uneven ground 100' of hose filled with water is heavy and difficult to maneuver... and you'll end up stretching the hose causing permanent damage. I once made the mistake of buying eight 100' lengths of 5/8" garden hose because it was on sale at Lowe's, thought it a good way to water some young trees I planted around my property, NOT! Even on level ground I could barely drag two lengths. I ended up filling several 5 gallon contractor buckets and hauling them in a wagon attached to my tractor. There's good reason those hose reels only have a capacity of about 150'. A garden hose filled with water is quite heavy... empty hose is even more difficult to drag about, it twists and kinks. Those silly light weight hoses shown on TV of late are a bad idea, dragging them in more then a 25' length filled with water will ruin them immediately. |

Move it empty if it's too hard when it's full. I always put mine away empty, for many reasons. That's one.

Any decent hose shouln't kink, unless you force it to. Don't twist it! |
