Well, it is pain in the buttocks to git rid of. We had a huge, 30 ft X 30ft patch of it on this place when we got it. Half was on neighbors and half on ours. Talked to neighbor first and got premission to git rid of it.

I got a chain saw with a long extension shaft and HEAVY welder type gloves, heavy jeans jacket and boots and etc etc. Started in on that durn thing cutting what I could reach, drag it out into a pile. Kept doing that and patching up cuts and scrathes on me!! Finally I had a big butt pile of it in one place, and TWO flat tires on the tractor..

I let it dry a week then poured kerosence all over it, piled old dead limbs and wood on it and set it off!!! Burned for hours it seemed like. Two or three days later, drug it all into another smaller pile and burned it again!!

Got a hole dug and shoved it all in and buried it.

Had to mow down a couple that came up next year and used round up on some others, but it is all gone now. That has been about 8 years.

Well, you asked!! :-)
