Aquatic weeds such as phragmites. It's so tall and thick you can't even walk through. I would like to control and looking for a blower sprayer to help.
While a power blower like the Tomahawk TMD14 is not the normal equipment we would recommend for any herbicide applications, for that unique plant and growth habits, that may prove to be the most successful way to get the foliage deep within the tall sections reached with the chemical. From our research on best phragmite control methods, the recommendations state: "If the plants are too tall to spray, cut back in mid summer and apply glyphosate when regrowth reaches 2 to 3 ft tall." If yours are roughly that height currently you could likely spray them and see decent control, but a reapplication should likely be expected.
