Nope, from what I've read its more like pulling grey hairs to only get 50 more in from just the one that you pulled....... Something like 3 or 4 tillings to continually the sprawling roots....
From what you guys now see, I get that, "Do you have enough wood?" Comment very often. It makes me smile real big and I stay silent. The awkward silence answers the question and ends that conversation.
Do you have access to that slash off to the back left? Gravity would be in your favor getting at that stuff.
A tornado went thru in october. Its not my property but I have had permission to have some. That's where all of the rounds I have right now have come from. Gravity is an understatement, pics don't do justice to my hill....
Nice shed BobDog. I also heat from the basement with a walkout garage similar to yours. I like being able to just roll the wood in to the basement.
That's what it's supposed to do. It's an invasive warm season grass that spreads along runners on the soil surface like crabgrass. Supposed to be drought tolerant and slow growing. You will never get rid of it short of nuking it with Roundup. Embrace it or face the inevitable.
Would have to be a pretty fine pulverizing tiller like a mantis for me to have any faith in it killing the roots. Your absolutely right though on it being harder to get rid of than the weeds....
I'm honestly indifferent, my theory is that as long as it's green it's ok. The grass is only in the yard to keeps the dirt from washing away....
Then it's not even remotely worth all that you will go through in attempting to remove it. Basically killing large sections of your lawn if not the entire lawn. Spraying 2-3 times, constant watering and vigil for new growth, because the zoysia is the only thing that will survive two doses of Round-up. Then, once no new growth occurs and you are sure the roots are dead, you aerate or slice seed, re-seed or better yet, cut out and re-sod if your budget allows. All this means you have to kill while the zoysia is quite active still but temps are low enough to encourage cool-season grasses like perennial rye to germinate and grow. For your area, that means you need to be done killing (a 3-6 week process, easy) and seeding sometime around Labor Day. Lots of time and $$ involved!
Love the shed, that's what mines supposed to look like when I'm done. I almost planted zoisa kind of glad I didn't now that there's other mixtures out there
Thanks for all the compliments. My first two years were rough, (2011/2012, 2012/2013) heated with a POS USSC magnolia 2500. It worked but was not up to the task of multi season 24/7 and it ate so much wood I would never have gotten ahead. I learned the tarp lesson the hard way, my storage stack used to be in the back, along g the fence on the garage side, pallets with tarps. I didn't know any better that the wood wouldn't dry in a huge cube 1/2 wrapped in tarps. That was a nightmare with our winters. No such thing as real frost and snow. It snows, then melts and makes everything mud. Terrible for bringing wood down the hill.... I started my stacks in back and made make shift huge pallets in the driveway with landscape timbers and 1/ fencing, tarped the top. That proved better but still the chitty tarp problem. My shed was put up in spring of this year, so far so good, but I'd really like to see it snow.to see how well it protects from blowing snow.... I have a weird calm spot in the driveway that seems to let snow accumulate there more than the yards and the street. At this point I'm happy, only problem to solve now is where to put more stacks without becoming an eyesore.
