axe them short, near to the ground then just ride it and that'll naturally kill them and nothing will grow back.

thread is a little dead



how do you guys get the dirt for your trails? like do you have it dumped there? or do you have machinery?

we've had 2 tonnes of top soil dumped for just finishing off the shaping, and packing it down makes it a hell of a lot easier than digging it up.

I'm also considering getting some machinery down for a day or 2 and see how much we can get done.
