I guess I'm waiting for it to rain so I won't be able to make it out there for a week? Then again maybe a good rain would wash the thorns away. Na...

I think it would work good though. Its going to take a lot of grubbing to get all of the mesquite stubs out They still have thorns on them to. Fortunately they are just here and there so it shouldn't take long. I'm figuring on inspecting say a hundred yards at a time policing up any fragments of them and throwing them off the road and then grub up what's left. When I get that 100 yards done go pull the car and trailer up to the place I've finished cleaning and then work another hundred yards. <br /><br />There is another good use for old used carper though and that is turning it with the bottom up and covering a driveway with it. stuff won't grow through it and it gives traction after rains. My uncle did that on his property many years ago and its about as good as a concrete driveway. Of course in a big city it would probably be a snap to get all you want for free, but not likely to happen around here.tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-56059513438119218462009-11-17T21:17:30.586-06:002009-11-17T21:17:30.586-06:00How about taking a gas powered leaf blower out the...How about taking a gas powered leaf blower out there and blow all of those stickers off the road. but I would also drag a big piece of carpet behind your car and then when you have done that 3-4 times you could burn it.Riverhaulerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653794429544970851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-14720281353271688282009-11-17T20:50:59.780-06:002009-11-17T20:50:59.780-06:00MsBelinda, The stuff won't prevent blowouts an...MsBelinda, The stuff won't prevent blowouts and may cause some vibration from balance change, but I doubt it. It would be a good idea to read the label before you buy. Where it would shine is places like my road and probably a lot of roads in Terlingua though.
