Fail

Looks like the attempt to kill of the Elm trees with acid has failed so far. In fact, they look greener than ever. One of the biggest challenges is delivering enough acid at one punch to kill them. My property sits so close to the water table that any acid just serves to make the soil better. So it's going to take a lot more. Think I'll save a small amount of this for general use and use what is left of the entire 5 gals for another attempt. If that doesn't work, I'll get another box in a couple of weeks and use nearly the entire box at once. Sooner or later it has to work. 

If not, then I'll advance to trying a large amount of weed and grass killer delivered to the roots. That has a short half life, only about 30 days at longest. Or try mixing the two. Just not sure if one would negate the other. 

Got a little house cleaning done, though I woke up later than intended. Seems I hit the button to turn off the alarm when I meant to hit snooze. Glad I did laundry and dishes last night.
