Question
Do you have problems with the spread of Autumn Olive shrub? Will your hack N squirt method kill these invasive species? And what kind of herbicides do you use? Also what can I use to kill ferns? Thanks!

Dan,

Fortunately there are no Autumn Olives at The Proving Grounds.  There’s some great information about controlling Autumn Olive at:   http://mdc.mo.gov/your-property/problem-plants-and-animals/invasive-plants/autumn-olive-control
