Hang up smaller brown paper bags where you don't want wasps. They don't like neighbors and think it's other wasps that have moved in and taken over the area, so they move and look for a new, more lonely place. Works in Sweden! Lovely video as always!

I love the bird spotting and naming the flowers and plants 😘

An exterminator taught me that when trying to get rid of wasp nests, never stand with the sun behind you. The wasps always fly straight out of their nests toward the sun. So angle your body so you are not in that path.He rarely got stung and didn’t wear a bunch of protective gear, but after decades of doing that job, he was almost immune to their stings.

Apparently a solution of vinegar and salt poured into stump drilled with a few holes. Rots stump. Slow but effective. Might take a couple of applications.

Our mimosas r pink. There is PREEN. It's granular. Can be environmentally hazard. There is also "industrial" strength vinegar. Either way, it will take a LOT. If vinegar is used, DO NOT apply in the heat of the day. It will aphexiate u, trust me. Contact your local agricultural center. They might have a solution.

Vinegar doesn't work on stumps for me & takes a ton to kill a weed down to roots. Usually only burbs the leaves off but grows right back. Salt can make an area so only salt- tolerant plants will grow in the future. Be careful where you use it.

You can also use a very sharp knife to remove the bark of the mimosa 20 to 30 cm from the top to the base of the tree and the mimosa will slowly begin to dry. For mimosas with a wider trunk, make holes in the trunk with a drill and apply chemicals.

I think you have to digg the roots out, only way. 🙈

Who doesnt like a saturday afternoon drinking an irish coffee and watching these videos whilst dozing off in bed. Not me! Thanks the pair of you.

Pour boiling water down by thr roots. As it loosens the soil you can aim to dig up its roots 😊😊

The close ups of flowers, birds and animals are stunning! Fantastic! Great job you two in the garden❤

A mulching mower that is set high. Run it over the Acacia every fortnight or so. The mulch can be used as compost or allow to decompose 9on the ground. Eventually the main plant will give up.

Love the cats and dogs. You are both so kind to them. Be careful when you strim because some cats lie down in the long grass and have been known to be injured. Love your channel.

Out by the roots! I believe the only permanent solution - a small digger would be easiest (See over on 'Project Kamp' they have done this). It is a highly successful pioneer species that loves open position and uncovered soil. Once out, immediate super-thick mulch (anything from the garden, chopped up, will do). Then get large natives like oak in, that will deter the mimosa in the long run. Remove new seedings on sight. If this seems too radical, then you could try the drilling holes/vinegar method, plus constant cutting back of new growth on the stumps, plus mulch and/or totally excluding the light with a tarp. It might eventually give up after a few years. But you have to stay on top of new growth all the time. For me this is a tougher route. All the best! - we LOVE your channel - would be happy to help but we have a woodland (in Wales!) to keep on top of!

I find that thick mulch (I use about 3 inches thick) really works with reseeding. The suckers from neighboring trees will still need to be pruned, mainly in the spring. The weed block fabric doesn't work on seeds that land on top (only seeds already in the soil) but few seeds can root through thick mulch. The soil is too far away for the roots to reach.

Take out the stump with a kind of claw with a tractor if you can. You have to do it with hemlock tree. But it will come back as long as you keep the old tree there. But the good thing is hemlock tree brings a lot of ants. The chickens should fest with them :-)

Can u move the chicken fence over ? That will help… make it taller at the rock wall and voila! A rolled up bandana around the head is good for sweat Iwan! ♥️👩‍🌾♥️

The way Iwan is approaching the problem of removing the mimosa, cutting them at ground level, will only make them spread in the small shoots coming up all over. This is because these trees spread underground along the root system. One has to remove the living root system. There are stump pullers one can purchase that operate on a lever system. I used to use a winch to pull roots, attached to a tree or vehicle. The problem with this is that the winch pulled horizontal to the ground. Your tripod method would help to pull straight up, which is an advantage. One still needs to dig around the root system enough to get the chain or wire wrapped around the root system sufficiently to get a good pull. One does have to remove them at the roots, but that will not solve the problem of the root system from the mimosa on the neighbor's land.

Lovely video as usual. Thank you. Hmmm. Perhaps you can 'babysit' Nick and Andrea's pigs for a while. You can fence off the area temporarily with electric fencing and let them go mad on the mimosa. 😁😁😁

Having breakfast while watching your beautiful videos on Saturdays is the best! I'm in love with your animals. Greetings from Los Angeles❤

On the acacias, exhaust the roots by routinely cutting off all sprouts and digging down or uprooting everything you can. Eventually the roots will be severely weakened and die. I'm doing the same and it's working a few years in...

It’s nice to see it again isn’t it?😅

Lots of good advice here already re the Mimosa - I've also heard of putting boiling hot water on the roots as soon as you have cut the trunk, then covering with a tarp or cardboard to prevent regrowth. (Be careful of using salt on the trees - it does work, but the salt can dissolve in water and run off into your vegetable beds, making the beds unproductive. You might want to think about which way the water drains before applying the salt.)

I love your calm videos, very typical of the Portuguese landscape.

Always at dusk or early morning when wasps are not fully awake & active, less chance of stings.

I had a similar issue with a tree called, 'Buckthorn.' It wasn't invasive until I cut down the mother plant and she sent runners everywhere as a survival response. Same would happen if I cut the suckers or runners. I am terrified of Round-Up but had no choice. So instead of spraying, I took sandwich bags with ties, poured the liquid into the bag, and then I put a limb and leaves and twist tied the bag closed. It kept the liquid from going anywhere or getting airborne and went directly to the root thus ending my buckthorn problem. I just controlled the application.

❤❤❤❤❤❤ Frankie's haircut ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I immediately paint the remaining stump (when it’s fresh and still wanting to cycle its liquids). I have used gasoline (followed by a covering of black plastic and bark to shut off water and light). But I prefer Brush and vine killer (Lilly Miller). Works good but because of the subterranean roots, keep a lookout for a year or two for new shoots popping up.

Except salt contaminated the soil... sadly... The only permanent way is to dig them out... Hopefully it's done and dusted... check for seeds germinating and starting over It may take years to eradicate it...

Vinegar salt and dish soap: the weed kill recipe calls for mixing together: 1 cup of salt 1 tablespoon of dish soap 1 gallon of vinegar From Martha Stewart I know it works on weeds, but I don't know about those trees. You may have to treat them several times but it's definitely not poisonous, that's for sure.

One of the most effective chemicals is SBK brushwood killer. Drill stump and apply diluted 2:1 mix. Have used successfully on Blackthorn, sycamore, willow etc. Good luck!

I laughed at the chickens' reaction, when you throw the mimosa shoots on a heap!! Highly upset, because you chuck the greenery away😂. As if to say:" Human are you mad? That is food!!"

It might be worth trying a sheet of black plastic held down on the edges and left for a while to cook the shoots and subdue the growth. To make it easier to extract the nails, engage the claw of the hammer and slip a piece of 20mm wood under the claw to produce more leverage

Eco plugs will sort any stump out and are a lot greener than roundup. If you want a 100% natural solution, you drill a few holes in the stumps, fill with salt and then plug the top with soil. Water it and replace the salt every week and it will drain the tree of all its nutrients until it dies. Love the channel!

Hello the best time to get rid of a wasp nest it early in the morning around 6:00 am when the wasp are sleeping you get the wasp spray and spray them in there face they won’t chase you because it’s to cold for them I hope this information was helpful

If you have many mimosa trees and you want to get rid of them you will be forced to use chemicals. I don`t use them but in a case like yours I have to use them. When you cut one many will grow in the same stump. Also when you clear the land many new seeds will come up.

I would suggest drilling the stumps, 2 or 3 good holes, and filling them with salt and then watering them so that it soaks in well. You don't have goats or cows that will lick the salt and for dogs and cats and other critters it's harmless. Removing the stumps will be a different task... Acacia and eucalyptus (plus the pampas duster), a problem we also have in the Cantabrian (northern Spain), although the growth of mimosas is controlled on farms with... donkeys or goats. Good luck!

Ah! My timely dose of therapy. Beautiful videography again, so soothing. What is it about the clucking of chickens that is so lethargy-inducing? Could it be a throwback to older times methinks? Afraid you've got a full-time job on your hands re the Mimosa - if you don't want to contaminate your land (which I applaud), the only sure-fire removal method is stump removal. Tedious and back-breaking work for sure, but the alternative is what you are doing now - the annual chop! Good luck with that guys! And thank you again for a beautiful episode, wonderful to watch!

If you keep on cutting the new growth in the tree stump it will eventually give up and die. You need to be patient. I learned this from Jeff Lawton. I tried this method on a large Jukka tree which is very tenacious and it worked.

Try salting the stumps, it helps to make the stumps rot. Don't know if it will work on the Mimosa, but it's worth a try, and a safe alternative. make an X in the root and pour in the salt.

Get a pig or a goat and pen them in the area you want to get rid of the saplings , the goat will eat all the new shoots, in my opinion pigs are better they will root and till every thing then you can plant what you like.

Drill holes in the stumps pour vinegar and cover with salt

I use cardboard thick layers covered with tarpolin to keep light out. After 12 months or so, they should naturally die out with no light. I use this method to get rid of pernicious weeds on my allotment when I started it 4 yrs ago. Now im almost weed free, but it did take 14 months. And lots of bricks to hold it all down. Hope all goes well Regards Kim xx

I would try spraying the foliage of the mimosa's with 75% vinegar and super concentrated salt water mixed 25% vinegar 75% salt water. Might be hard to find 75% vinegar but regular vinegar is only around 5% so get as strong of vinegar as you can. Make super concentrated salt water by putting salt into container until salt no longer dissolves. The foliage will absorb the spray and slowly take it underground to the roots and kill the tree. For those trees that it doesn't kill cut them to ground level drill a few small holes and pour in some salt. The spray will act as a weed spray and help tackle some of your unwanted weeds. Best of luck and keep up the good work!!!

Instead of Roundup I use white vinegar with salt and washing up liquid in it. I cleared a very overgrown back garden (which scared away the person I was going to pay to clear it for me). I cut everything right down to ground level before spraying it all a couple of times with the solution. I then covered the whole area with cardboard to stifle any new growth of very high growing brambles and Himalayan Honeysuckle which looked like Japanese knotweed. I found that an old fashioned long handled scythe worked better than a strimmer, use as if raking everything towards you rather than swinging it. Perhaps you could find a less inflammable option to the cardboard, but it worked brilliantly, even though it took a couple of years to do it this way rather than use harsh weed-killer.

I love all the flora and bird names, so different from here. Iwan may consider reaching out to a supplier of battery-operated secateurs for grape and olive pruning.

My friend I have far too much Mimosa on my land I use it for the log burner, but too remove it completely you have no chance without using Roundup as it will kill it and the roots as well as I use on regrowth when I clearfell a section for the stove. If you follow my instruction you can use it safely, otherwise you are lumbered with the weed for life. Mix your Roundup 50/50 with cooking oil, old oil is good enough, mix it well then add to the water. spray the mimosa as it starts to grow spray to get a good cover, if you have plants nearby then either move them or avoid spraying them as it will kill everything it touches. Keep the dogs of for 1 day then is ok. It works and works very well, but if you don't want too use you've had it as is the only fast way to get rid of it unless you want to spend your life digging it up as it will take that long. Wasps you can put a tin of cymag underneath the nest, take the lid of and by morning all the wasps will be in the tin dead. My grapes have flower buds on already yet nextdoor is just breaking bud, must be my good gardening. So you are in Castelo Branco as well as I watch a few of Dan and Lora. Hope you have plenty water as is not spring this week will be summer as forecast is 30c where I am so am sure 32 for you and the rainy season is all but done. So be prepared to start watering the garden before the month is out, unless we get the tail of any more hurricanes with U.K. 's name on them. Roundup is the only weed killer cleared by the soil association for organic garden use as it does not translocate or kill anything that you pant or sow after spraying. If you need to ask more feel free as been a garden for most of my lie.

The chickens will take care of the seeds and new seedlings...you just need to give them access to the area.as you can see the chicken area is devoid of ant vegetation.

Just a thought when you are pruning. Do you have a largish tarp you could drop the cuttings onto?

You will need to seal all of those broken sheets up into strong plastic bags. I don't know how you do it in Portugal, but in Aussie you need to get specialists, and they do it with Local Council approval. Those sheets to me look very much like the old ASBESTOS sheets.....handle with care.

Further, with A. dealbata, cover the salted trunk with heavy soil or compost, to keep it moist, or with black plastic. To control the constant reinfection from your neighbour, it will be a seasonal routine to walk along that fence with a weeding prong implement and remove the young seedlings. Trimming them of, or slashing/strumming the green-trunked ones will only prune them. The roots will re-energise and resort with even thicker growth in late winter, early spring. 😢

You’re right to not want to use round up or diesel - the reason I moved out of western suburbia and into rural SE Europe is to be away from noxious chemicals. There are less nasty options, if you have the patience you can keep cutting off any new shoots that form, eventually they will stop when the root is too weak. Or mechanical means - it’s bloody hard work digging out tree stumps, but it is possible to again weaken the tree by severing as many roots as you can.

Epsom salts poured in to holes and sealed with wax apparently works 😊

How to get rid of the mimosa where you don't want them. Use a disc on your strimmer to cut the younger mimosa shoots down, ask somebody with a tractor to pull out the stump with the roots or burn the roots inside the ground (don't do this in summer, only in the rainy season).. Besides, Mimosa is a very good fire wood because it dries very quick. The shoots are nice to use them in the garten and so are the bigger ones for posts etc. Hope this helps, all the best, Ecki

I get invasive trees in my yard, but my land is much smaller than yours. I cut them down with strimmers & and pruners, then come back about once a week or 2 to see if anything has resprouted. If you see any green sprouting, break them off. Do this weekly or biweekly & the roots & stump uses up all its energy stored in roots since it can't do photosynthesis. It dies. If you only clear an area at a time, an area small enough to keep an eye on like by the chicken coop, the trees are dead within a month or so. It works on brambles & ivy too. I have to create appointments in my calendar planner to remember to walk the area to look for sprouts, but it only takes a few minutes to do. If you come back to find leaves open, then you need to come back sooner next time to avoid photosynthesis. If no sprouts then you came back too soon. I hope this helps.

my fig tree kept regrowing. Thankfully only one so I can cut off any new shoots every so often

If chopping down one tree results in 5 more shoots, I guess after chopping down the tree I would do something to the stump to render it unable to attempt reproducing... but what ? If it's really flammable, you wouldn't try to burn the stump like we do down here in South Eastern North Carolina. I'm puzzled too 🌷 ( we drill holes in the stumps and pour something that will burn on it and let it soak in. It doesn't really flame up, just smolders and smokes until it burns itself out )

We had similar problem diesel in stump was fairly effective. Had to get a digger in to remove huge root long and invasive mostly battle goes on.😮

copper nails in the stumps, poisens the roots, I`ve heard
