Field Tested Tools I Use for Weekend Land Management

Currently using Merit Seed Bison Mix
Pond Management
Dye and herbicides to maintain a healthy pond.
CLICK FOR PRICE Pellets that will digest muck a food source for algae and weeds.

Insecticide
Always follow label directions, application restrictions, and PPE requirements.
CLICK FOR PRICE Spray inside and outside structures 1-2 times per year. A professional pest control technician informed me this is what he uses.
Cutting & Clearing
