How I remove invasive shrubs for good | Cold Climate Fall Gardening

Removing unwanted shrubs permanently doesn't have to wreck your hands—especially if you're dealing with carpal tunnel (as I am), arthritis or tendonitis. In this video, I'm tackling a fall clean-up here in my Zone 3 yard. A self-seeded common elder, a hidden wild honeysuckle with incredibly hard wood that I just discovered, and several deer-ravaged cedar trunks. I'll show you exactly how I remove these weedy shrubs and explain the stump treatment that stops them from coming back—plus how a lightweight mini chainsaw saved my wrist from days of pain. 🛒 Supstable Mini 6" Chainsaw (Amazon): https://amzn.to/4zHOTAG 💰 5% OFF Code: 1BDHR7D3 — also in the pinned comment As of filming, the price is $53.99—but Amazon prices change, so check the link. 🌱 WHY FALL IS THE BEST TIME FOR SHRUB REMOVAL: In Zone 3, September is ideal for cutting and treating stumps because plants are pulling starches down into their roots. That means the herbicide travels with the plant's energy—straight to the roots. No digging required. 💬 A NOTE ON THIS REVIEW: Supstable gifted me this mini chainsaw to test - all thoughts of how it works are my own. I wondered if it would genuinely get me through this mess—and it did. I have carpal tunnel in my dominant hand, so "lightweight and easy to operate" isn't just a marketing phrase to me. It's the whole reason I can still do this work. #Supstable #Chainsaw #Garden #MiniChainsaw #Trimmer #Pruning #Homestead #Gardening #ElectricSaw
