Shrub Buster-a tool for removing invasive shrubs and brush

Buckthorn and Honeysuckle bush remover

  The main benefit is:  Using this tool to remove bushes requires considerably less physical effort and gets the job done faster than any other hand tools.

  If you've tried to remove shrubs, more than a few, with a shovel or mattock, it should be obvious. If you've used one of the pulling tools, you know they don't work well on bushes. They work well on trees that have a tap root.  Most shrubs do not.

 When removing shrubs, you need a good 'prying tool' and thats what the Shrub Buster is.

  I have many happy customers that are using this tool. To see some of thier comments, CLICK HERE. A comment I often get is: "I wish I woulda' had this years ago, it would have saved me a lot of work!"

 Another great benefit is the things you don't have to do when removing bushes with the Buster.

 Eliminates:

•        The digging, prying and stabbing with shovels. No more broken shovel handles!

•        The blind chopping into the ground with an axe or mattock trying to sever some roots. They often snag on the branches while you're trying to swing, and a few times, I struck too close to my foot for comfort.

•        Bending the frame of your truck while trying to jerk the bush out with a chain. Some people even use a car! This could end up being very expensive, but, they are fun to watch on YouTube.

•        Most of the cursing when trying to get those (darn) things out. But not all of it. Its still not easy all the time, especially when you graduate to the bigger ones. My personal estimate is I cuss 75% less since inventing the Buster. ( Cant be serious all the time here folks, we're just talking about bushes.) :-)

Reduces herbicide use.

  Sawing the bush down and soaking the stump with concentrated glysophate (20% is effective) is a popular way of removing invasive bushes and if done correctly works most of the time. If thats your choice, I'm all for it. The only good invasive bush is a dead one.

  There are three reasons I don't use herbicides on honeysuckles. First is that it doesn't "remove" the bush, it "kills" it. The stumps are still there. The new vegetation thats going to grow hides these stumps and you'll trip over them every time you walk in that area for many years.

  Second, herbicides are expensive. It will cost you 1-3 bucks a stump depending on size. Lastly, I don't like handling that concentrated stuff.  You always get some on you and it soaks in. (I'm not a purist though, I still buy the spray to kill weeds in my driveway)

  This is why it makes sense to use the Buster to pop out all you can, because it gets the stump out too, then save the herbicide use for the big ones that cannot be removed by hand. This will greatly reduce the number of stumps in the area, and you use less herbicides. NOTE: I am aware that some places hire professional applicators to spray acres of bushes at a time. I have observed a couple of these spots and the bushes are definetely dead. This technique is way out of my realm, and in my opinion should only be done by professionals, so I don't talk about that much.

   The Shrub Buster works on herbicided stumps. Stumps of bushes that were younger than 10 years old are generally no problem, but for older ones, you need to wait 2-3 years so that it rots a little. Then, you can remove them with the Buster.

I back up what I say with this guarantee:

  If you do not think The Honeysuckle Popper is the fastest and easiest way to remove bush Honeysuckles by hand, or if you are unsatisfied in any way with the tool, return it for a full refund including the original shipping charge.
