powermax_paul Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Well, I finished building the spray rig that will hopefully save my sweet corn crop this year. Weeds Beware! Paul http://www.epho.com/pkjorlie/Sprayer.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent_Baumer Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Pretty cool Paul. Your garage/shop resembles mine, only no oil slicks on the floor. Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffG Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Paul, Now your only problem will be getting the rig through the overhead door! ;o) Nice job! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackcobb Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Paul Nice rig for sure? Have you come across a good herbicide that us (non-licensed) wanna-be farmers can use? Roundup and Paraquat are great pre-emergence products. 2-4-D and Banville work great post-emergence on broadleaves. But you needed a product such as Attrazine for post-emergence on grass's. And it's restricted, maybe even banned by now?. Requires an applicators license. I know there are newer products, but haven't kept up. And the applicators license and quantity/$$$$ required makes it very impractical. Have you found a majic potion? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermax_paul Posted March 17, 2002 Author Share Posted March 17, 2002 Jeff, It's a 9' boom and the garage door is a 10x8. I was able to walk it out without touching anything. The boom is in two pieces and removes with two 5/16" wingnuts. Brent, glad to hear at least you have a clean floor. Everytime I turn around, there's another oil slick. Sometime, though, take a look at Jeff's pics. He wins the award for a clean shop! No offense Jeff, a clean shop is a safe shop! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermax_paul Posted March 17, 2002 Author Share Posted March 17, 2002 Jack, I checked on Frontier. No way, I need a Qt. and only can get 2.5 gallon jugs at $100 per gallon. My solution is this: 1. Till early as weather conditions and soil moisture permit. Patch was plowed last fall. 2. Allow weeds and grasses to sprout. 3. Spray with Gordon Products Pronto (basically Roundup+2,4-D) 4. Plant the corn. 5. Follow with two more passes of Gordons LV400 a 2,4-D Ester, for broadleaf control. Hope that works!

JeffG Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Thanks for the kind words, Paul. I try to keep the old shop as clean as possible. Jeff http://hyperphoto.photoloft.com/view/exportImage.asp?s=cano&i=9140929&w=175&h=175> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Jeff, You have a Nova. What is the El Camino doing in your garage? And your lift was red. Real clean for sure! You can tell I haven't been around for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffG Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 OK, guys. So that really isn't my shop. I was pulling a "Dutch" on you. Hey, a guy can dream, can't he? Ever heard of a little show on TNN called "Crank & Chrome" - that happens to be Sam & Dave's shop. Just a little ST fun. ;o) Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
