Frequently asked questions:
    What does it works on?  Woody shrubs or bushes or brush, whichever term you prefer. Single trunk and multi-stems.   All woody shrubs?  No, most of them.  Specifically, ones with a shallow or spreading or fibrous root system.
  Name some it works on;  The honeysuckle popper works on but is not limited to these:  Honeysuckles (of course), Privet, Buckthorn, Autumn Olive, Multi-flora rose, Burning Bush (winged euonimus), Holly, Forsythia, Yucca, and smaller evergreen shrubs. 
  What  doesn't it work on?  Trees.  They have tap roots.  Some woody bushes in dry or sandy regions and wet areas also have tap roots.  Just pull or dig a small one out.  If it has a tap root, forget about it.  If it has a shallow or fibrous root system, you're in luck.  All the popper needs is a solid 'bottom' for the tip to engage.
  Will that wood platform break?  No. It is solidy attached to the steel brackets with bolts.
  Many well meaning handymen, not understanding my life long toolmaking experience or the depth of research I've put into this ask:  Wouldn't a metal platform be better?   Even though metal is obviously more durable, the answer is:  No, the wood platform works better.  I designed the popper in the way that it works better, not looks better.  I tried a couple metal platforms and if a metal platform worked better, thats the way the tool would be made.  Trust me on this.  For details on why I use wood, CLICK HERE  
  Will the handle bend?  No.  My unique, patented design where the solid alloy steel tip extends into and supports the thick walled structural steel tube prevents that.  The cost of these speciality steels is why this tool is expensive, and also why its about 20lbs lighter than a solid bar would be.   Its not indestructable though, you need to understand that it is designed to be a 'one man' tool.  If two men apply leverage under an unmovable stump, or if you slip a pipe on the end to gain more leverage, the handle will bend.  If you do not abuse this tool, it will last a lifetime. 
  Is it guaranteed?  Yes, completely, no limitations.
  How big'a ones can I get out?  Since this is a lever tool, the size you can pop out easily depends mostly on how much you weigh, and partly on how strong you are.  The bushes do, of course,  get too big for anyone to pop out.  In general, everyone will be able to pop out bushes up to 5-8 years old, often with a single 'pop'.  Heavier, stronger folks up to 10-12 year olds, and once you gain some experience with the popper, even bigger ones. For a full explanation  CLICK HERE

  11 pounds lighter than my full size popper, this tool works great on the smaller bushes up to 5-7 years old. (generally 4-8 ft tall)  It was designed for those of you that cannot handle the weight of the full size popper but would still like to participate. 
   I use both sizes in my woods and if you can afford both, and have a big patch, you will get your moneys worth.  Especially if you have a helper.  Sometimes the HD is overkill for the 2-5 year old ones and the lite comes in very handy.  One customer bought a popper for him, a Lite for his wife, and they work together on the same bush, enabling them to pop out even bigger ones. 

Which one should you get?  I recommend the big one for anyone that feels they can handle a 28 pound tool.  It has a much wider range of bushes it works on.  If your patch is mostly young bushes, under 5 years old or so, or you are petite or elderly, the Lite would probably be better.  Speaking in general terms, and meaning no offense to you stronger ladies out there, I say the HD is the mans tool, the Lite is the Ladies tool.

   Kit contains everything you need to stop the cut off honeysuckle stumps from re-growing.  These are all items you could go out and buy yourself, but I have put everything you need in the right quantities together with its own carrying bag. 

• Kills honeysuckle stumps using no herbicides or chemicals, and costs about the same overall
• Works good on any re-sprouting shrub or bush stump you want to eliminate
• 6mil thick black plastic contains the re-growing shoots and deprives them of light
• 100% effective as long as the plastic is staked down securely
• cheaper than if you tried to find and buy all this on your own.  You can't get all this at one place.    If you do, get 6mil black.  If you cant find that, 2 layers of 4 mil will do the job.  No need to waste your time trying thinner, cheaper plastic.  I've already done that and it doesn't work.
• Enough to cap 12 to 30 stumps, depending on stump size.  Note: there is not as much burlap as there is plastic.  Save it for the more obvious stumps.   

   Mister Honeysuckles Stump Killer kit is a cost effective way to kill honeysuckle stumps without using herbicides.  How?   The concentrated stuff you need is expensive and its a thick liquid.  You can expect to use $1 to $4 worth on each stump- the same cost as my kit. 
. 

  Its very easy to do.  You fold the plastic over the stump, wrap some string around it to secure it, and then stake it down, making sure it is covering any exposed roots.  You leave it on for a year.  The burlap is used to cover the plastic for decorative reasons only in that it looks better than plastic and it blends in with the surroundings better.  The round top pins work best at holding the plastic down.  The sod staples are provided for places the pin will not go in or hold because of rocks and roots.

   The concept is very simple.  Deprive a plant of all light and it dies. It works.  But only if you leave it on for a year, so I advise capping it, then forget about it until next year. 

     That guarantees 100% success.  I know the 6mil is more expensive, but its the right 'tool' for the job.  Just like the honeysuckle popper and the felco saw I sell.
   After 1-3 years, depending on how big it is, the rotting stump can be removed using the honeysuckle popper.

   This kit goes along great with The Honeysuckle Popper because the best way to remove a honeysuckle infestation is to first clear out all you can using the Honeysuckle Popper because it removes the stump.  Then you ‘cut and smother’ the rest.  You can cut it low to the ground or leave it a few feet high which makes it easier to get out once it rots.  Also, there is no time limit on when to cap them.  You can cap'em now or whenever you want.  If the stump has shoots, just cut them off first.
