Everyone needs a good applicator for the variety of herbicides used in prairie and savanna restoration and conservation. The Makutu is the answer to all the applicator problems you have had in the past. Here I provide a description of this device the Glacial Prairies Chapter has developed at the request of one of Glacial Prairie Chapter’s stellar volunteers.

I like the opportunity to control a native invading species without the use of chemicals. Double-cutting within the growing season or multiple years offers one method of controlling some native clonal trees species. To be effective, you must be timing the cuttings correctly, be cutting all of the stems in the clone, and continue the process as long as needed.
