Mondays with Martha #215 - Chemical Glove Herbicide Technique

This week I share a very targeted foliar herbicide application technique, known as chemical glove, bloody glove, glove of death, and/or hand wicking. This control method is very helpful for treating low densities of invasive species that are hard to hand pull, especially in landscapes with a lot of native and/or rare plant species you don't want to inadvertently impact. Learn how to set up your herbicide equipment filling and cleaning station, appropriately clean clothing and equipment, and apply this technique in your own landscape.
