Hi
I want to kill the shoots of the honeysuckle bushes that I cut down this winter. I have about 150 plants to treat. I know that the state and county spray along the roadside to kill overgrowth and I need to know the name of the chemical that they use and hopefully where to get this chemical. I know that brush and stump killer can be painted on but that is so meticulous that it is not practical for the area that I am treating. HELP Thank you

Im trying the topsy turvy..where you grow tomato plants upside down..mine are blooming the yellow flowers but thats all I dont have any tomatoes on them. Is it just that the weather is off this year for vegtables or should i just give up this new method of growing tomatoes?
