Weed Control Recommendations

[rockfj]

Hi,

I've recently(3yrs ago) started a Tree Farm/Nursery and now have 4000 seedlings to take care of.
The farm is the start of a future retirement project for me as I near retirement in the next ten years.

My question has to do with weed control around my seedlings.

When I planted them I mulched around each and everyone, however, they still require a significant amount of mowing and weeding.

I would appreciate any information others would be willing to share on how they maintain control of weeds around their trees.

Thanks,

rockfj

Here is some useful info on the subject. For some reason the short cut doesn't open it. Copy and paste into your address line.

So, what are you growing? What part of NY are you located in? Do you need any liners?
