PVC Applicator
Designed by Jack McGowan-Stinski of the Michigan Chapter of The Nature Conservancy, this applicator applies herbicide to cut stumps. The PVC tube is the reservoir for herbicide that is released through a sponge on the end of the applicator. It screws apart for handy carrying in a locked-top bucket, which also contains herbicide container, wash water, and other necessary supplies.
