[quote:Anonymous Coward 14992014:MV80MDQ0MzQ4XzczMjY0NDM5XzQwRDNFN0Qz] Why do you have to spray against Scotch broom if the trees shade them out as they get bigger? [/quote]
Original Message
Years ago Scotch Broom was brought in from England to stabilize sand dunes.
Always a bad thought to pull that sort of Environmental alteration.
What that means is to kill the Scotch Broom around Christmas Trees in Oregon Helicopters spray Round-up to keep the noxious weeds down.
Those are Chem Trails worth worrying about.
Now lets move to logging.
Scotch broom dies as trees get bigger because it is shade intolerant.
Killing off a few generations of Scotch Broom works as Douglas Fir seedlings become small trees and shade out other plants like Scotch Broom.
So what one does is hire a crew to come in and spray after planting.
These crews are typically Hispanic.
Anybody going to complain about where they originally came from so they can get that job?
We had a small clean up logging job done on 8 acres of dead and dying Doug and White Fir. Also one Madrone and one small Pacific Yew were cut.
A Hispanic Crew came in and planted 2500 Doug Fir at 85 Cents a tree. That was $2100+. It is hard physical labor.
They just sprayed it for 400 bucks.
It will have to be re-sprayed yearly at least four more times.
