Like with the occultation at the Spencer’s Creek field\, this treatment should also kill or severely weaken the mugwort rhizomes\, but over the course of a couple of seasons. We’ll finish up any cardboard prep work we didn’t get done during the week\, and then spread the cardboard sheets over our flagged areas. This will set the stage for a dropping of wood chips sometime the following week.
