I tried an experiment on the aspen sprouts this year – spritzing leaves in mid-summer with Milestone.  Some of the sprouts turned brown, but most didn’t.  The DNR folks have had good luck with this method, so I must have done something wrong.  So as in other years, Mike mowed the aspen sprouts in late summer.
