This product is GREAT!! We tried a couple things over the years. Not much success at all.
Then I found the Green shoots youtube video and website. It was a big area of knotweed, VERY well established. Used as directed. Almost a complete eradication! Only a couple stragglers. Going to get those this fall. Extremely happy. Thank you for your knowledge and product.

Easily spot killed poison ivy and invasive lespedeza. Wear chemical gloves as the dispenser can drip. The blue dye will stay on your fingers for days.

This is small and portable for small jobs and when you have to carry a bunch of things into the yard. Provides enough applications that you don't have to refill it too often. Will be looking forward to using this later this fall for knotweed "cut and stump" type treatment.

This brush is much better than the nylon type netting used in a previous version.

Both are excellent tools on our heavily knotweed infested property. Seeing success in scattered small patches and know that I have a few years ahead to zap the larger patches.

Stem injector worked very well (though I won’t be able to see the results of the treatment until next year) - worked as intended, easy, ergonomic. Not a critique but am not sure why someone wouldn’t use the sharp needle for everything instead of the hand drill method. But I’m very satisfied with the product.

Works as adevetised.

I was having an issue getting the sharp needle to fit in the gun. It's a negligible size larger than the hollow point needles. I reached out to John and he was very responsive and helpful. Use the provided socket to start the sharp needle into the nozzle... that easy😆. I would recommend emphasizing this in the instructions in big bold letters for people like me that skim through instructions😅. They also have video tutorials that i had overlooked.
I tested it with water and it seals very well. Can't wait to try it out.
Thanks John!

I haven't used this gun yet but did a trial run with water. Its a very sturdy design and looks like it will be able to take some abuse. We are excited to use the 2 guns we ordered.

Restoring natural areas to fulfill ecological processes often requires precision tools that can apply herbicide to targeted undesirable species. We have used Green Shoots products in the past and often require the larger volume contained within the large handheld dispenser. The design has changed over the years and for the better. The associated care and use instructions are really helpful in maintaining this tool.

I bought this kit even though I though it was a bit expensive because I didn't want to risk glyphosate overspray into other plantings. It has exceeded expectations in reducing those risks!

The foaming agent keeps the glyphosate on targeted plants - I am able to paint individual bindweed leaves and stems above grass without the glyphosate getting the grass. I have applied to bindweed twice this summer, and the bindweed is no longer living its best life in our yard. I understand bindweed eradication may be a multi-year process, so final results are still unknown, but at least the bindweed is shriveling and is no longer flowering.

As a cut flower gardener who generally doesn’t use herbicides and is wary of the damage they can cause, some invasive thorny trees popped up from seeds blown from neighboring yards that were impossible to eliminate any other way. Also some ash seedlings impossible to dig. The foam worked well for me to apply even in the midst of my peony garden, and quickly eliminated the invasive seedlings that were entangled with my plants, without any damage to my plants.

I was a little frightened handling pesticides. I took full precautions. The Injection system worked easily and very safe. So far the injected stems left up have all turned brown. Some stems did produce some, but the laves were deformed. But mostly all growth had died. I missed some plants. But I read you can use the Round Up until fall to be effective against Japanese Knotweed

Once I figured out to remove the dip tube and switch with the straight dip tube and breather tube attachment, it worked perfectly. Very easy to use and clean. I have large patches of Japanese Knotweed scattered on our property, I'm ready to start eradicating this invasive plant with this tool.

We had a creeping thistle infestation in our back yard area where we had flowers planted and wanted to put in some native grasses. I was at odds for a long time as to how I was going to get rid of the thistle and save the young tree and other plants we wanted to keep. My wife found this product. It was the perfect solution. And it worked l like a charm. The mixing and prep was straightforward, the foaming applicator worked well and was easy to use, and I was able to precisely target just the thistle at different spots. It's been a month or so now, and all the thistle has died down to the roots. There will be some popping back in the fall, but they will have no chance if I use this foamer. This is the best product. Efficient use of herbicide and environmentally friendly. I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs to selectively apply glyphosate to their weeds.
