Parcel 1, 2 & 3 Weed Management

May, June and July were very hectic. We had finally finished off the weed management for Parcel 1, 2 & 3. Thanks to our new high pressure pump, we manage to do it at a shorter time. It was a very challenging run as we missed the previous weed management back in March. The weeds had grown too long and access were difficult. We started off with Parcel 3, smallest, then Parcel 2 and lastly the biggest Parcel 3. Am really glad that we have cleared this. We still need to finish off the fertilization program.

What we had done is that we used the high pressure pump to do a initial run, then followed by a manual run with knack pack  sprayer. This is to do up the missed and out of reached area (due to limited length of hose). We had also switch to another brand of herbicide and hope that it shall have better results. We had added a used tire to absorb the vibration of the pump, a very helpful suggestion made by our partner. We are more familiar with the pump operation now.

 

Testing this now.

The pump being higher pressure (adjustable), it can penetrate the long grass batter. 

Looking forward to the next weed management run, which starts in September.

Were using these.
