I have A 9 acre field that I cleared of scotch broom 8 years ago. Had to cut it down with a chain saw and push together into three large piles and burned it. So happy to have that done. Now all the dormant seeds are sprouting. I cut hay off the field last year and it seemed that half of each bale was scotch broom. The cows wasted a lot of hay because of the scotch broom. I was going to try pulling it by hand with a tool, but that was very time consuming. Worked okay on larger plants but not small ones. So I purchased a gallon of Crossbow to spray it. Had my handy dandy 2 gallon sprayer with hand pump and sprayed about 12 gallons on the field so far. Quickly realized that a boom sprayer was what was. Needed. I looked at tractor supply and other places. Then looked at you tube to see how to build one then back online at price of nozzles and pumps. The last thing I thought about was buying nozzles for irrigating plants for a flower bed. They are only about $2.50 for brass nozzles with a 90 or180 degree dispersion. As anyone built a boom sprayer using these nozzles? At this point you do not know how much use it will get. Not sure if I will need to spray every year for the scotch broom or not. No place around to rent one that I am aware of.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
