Our Story:
We are four years into a seven year effort of transforming 20 acres of "Piney
Grove" in Northwest Florida into our dream homestead/mini farm to be filled
with animals and joy. We plan to have a variety of miniature critters on our
pastures, raise free-range chickens, grow fish in our pond, garden
organically, plant fruit and nut trees, and harvest wild game. Our goal is
to escape the stresses of corporate life and embrace all that country living
has to offer as we enter the next chapter of our lives. Follow along on our
journey!

I have got to spring for one of those Atv sprayers! I’ve walked past them in Rural King several times thinking I need to pick one up. Great advice here!
Thanks Lucas. If you can get away with it, a Solo backpack sprayer would be cheaper and easier to store and maintain, but it's a lot of walking and pumping! With the amount of property we have to maintain now, the ATV sprayer is a huge time saver. 👍
The Pastures are looking nice
They cleaned up well after this spraying. Thanks for watching. B&D.
Good idea covering up and wearing a mask when spraying 👍🏻. We are very limited in chemicals here in 🇨🇦, I would love to get rid of the crabgrass but we don’t have anything here other than this “cornmeal” stuff that doesn’t work 🤷🏼♂️. Have a great weekend B&D
It's hard to kill grass in grass! Broadleaves are easier and sedges can be isolated, but we have some invasive grass in the pasture that is not bahia that we can't get rid of. I don't have a solution for that! Take care Luc. B&D
Great video! I need to do this to 45 acres :) :)
You've got the ATV....just get a sprayer. Keep those pastures weed free! Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb
Great explanation I see a lot of 25 gallons atv the 15gal looks like better setup more managable
Thanks! We get a lot done with this setup!
So if it’s hot in Texas right in the 100. In the morning the grass is wet from the humid here. When should I spray? Would the evening be ok? I used to figure that the sun would dry up the mix and because of that it dries before it is even effect. Please help
We spray after the morning dew dries.
What was the chemical used for the thicker stuff along the fence? And any update on effectiveness?
It all worked well. The fenceline was treated with Gordon's Brushkiller from Tractor Supply. Some of the brush came back this year, but most of it died off completely. You can see our pastures make hay in some upcoming videos and they are completely weed free.
Remember here you can't spray 24d around a tomato farm.
The tomatoes can't stand 24d and if any drift gets to a tomato farm you are responsible for the cost of everything you kill.
F.S. says a safe spry range is 3 miles if I remember right.
Oh if you get to hot doing the spraying. You can mount it in your truck.
Back when I was spraying a bunch of hay .
I took a 380gl square shipping tote and mounted 2 16ft spray nozzles and a 2.8 gpm pump.
It was a lot better in the ac.
I don''t think there's anything but pines and pasture for 12 miles! I don't think it's ever too hot to ride an ATV, is it? Take care.
@@PineyGroveHomestead i guess it depends how much you have to be on the atv.
Spraying herbicides and bug poison and liquid fertilizer one 300 + acers where you can't get a big tractor sprayer in or don't have the big sprayer. Especially in August........ lol
@@PineyGroveHomestead yea I forgot juniper tomatoes closed a few years ago 😅
Once you use herbicides in tank is it not recommended for any other uses as i n liquid fertilizer???
I think if you rinse the tank you'd be OK, but that's just me. Here's a newer spray we have: ruclips.net/video/sXFmEuyRtfU/видео.html
Great video! Do you wire direct to atv battery? Or use a separate 12v?
This ATV has a 12V receptacle. But you can also buy an alligator clip receptacle for your battery. Amazon affiliate link here: ruclips.net/video/1acX-GrQFaM/видео.html

What do you recommend to kill milkweeds and not kill my grass? Part of my field is infested with milkweed and way too much to dig up.
I did a Google search for "herbicide for milkweed in pasture" and it said 2,4-D can work in the early stages. Otherwise you have to wick it with glyphosate when it's taller than the grass.

Did the chemical you used last for your fence line actually kill all the weeds, saw briars and little saplings that normally grow in a fence line??
They make different levels of brush killers....one actually prevents regrowth in the soil. I used the one that works on contact but doesn't affect the soil. But yes, it works.
Do you mind saying which you used? You may have advised in the video but I do not recall.

When should you spray right after you mow? Or how many days after you mow?
You want the target weed to be actively growing with as many leaves showing to absorb the herbicide, so I would spray before I mow. Here's an updated video: ruclips.net/video/1acX-GrQFaM/видео.html
@@PineyGroveHomestead dang it & I just mowed it today
Hi I have 2.5 acres of land should I buy a 30gal or a 40gal tank as I only want to go over it 1 time. Please help. Thanks
Chemicals are based on volume per acreage, so if you go real fast, you can do more acreage with less water. You have to calculate your sprayer. I know at my speeds I can cover about 1 acre with 15 gallons with the nozzles on my boom. So I put in enough chemicals to treat 1 acre at a time.
@@PineyGroveHomestead how fast are your speeds? Are you saying with that size gallons you can cover 1 acre?
@@RonnieRayAllDay yes
About how fast were you driving the ATV?
Close to wide open. The key is to know about in your mind how much ground you can cover at any given speed since chemicals are applied per acre, not per gallon.
@@PineyGroveHomestead Thanks!
Worst sprayer ever! Right out of the box Tank leaks, Lid will not seal thus it's useless! CHEAP CRAP DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!
We love ours. Had it for at least 5 years and not a single problem.
