Early summer was <br />so hot and dry the plants were hardening off. As you know, <br />when this happens plants do not respond to herbicide. A fall <br />treatment was done. Research has shown excellent results with <br />fall treatments on knapweed and thistle. The hoary cress <br />should have been treated early but we were not able to do it. <br />A fall treatment was done on rosettes. <br />I did not treat the Russian Olive or Saltcedar this year. <br />Time just seemed to go by too fast. On the Russian Olive I <br />will do a basal treatment. However, on the Saltcedar a cut <br />stump treatment will be done. I will have to find a place to <br />put the trees that are cut down. They are not very big so it <br />should be easy to find a place to put them. <br />I would like to do some revegetation in some of the areas <br />where we are getting control of the knapweed and thistle. <br />Does DMG have any special requirements or recommendations? <br />Some of the areas are wet. It looks like the railroad company <br />is going to remove some of the track on the east end. If they <br />do, this area will need to be revegetated. We should try to <br />get them do it and pay for it. <br />Does the property across the river belong to the Hawksnest <br />Mine? I have not been over there to look but I would like to <br />do so. <br />Please get back to me on the revegetation, and call me if you <br />have any questions concerning the invoice. <br />Sincerely, <br />Adena L Green <br />Gunnison County Weed Coordinator <br />(970) 641-4393 Fax: (970) 641-0653 Email: gunweed@rmi.nec <br />
