This is not so much a "wrench" question--more like a "lawnmower" question...
For anyone involved with large-scale ground mount systems, I am curious about the various methods being used to control vegetation. My sense has been that O&M service providers generally gravitate toward gas mowers/trimmers with spot application of chemical herbicides. Does anyone have any experience with alternative methods, such as specialized seeding (e.g. pollinator-friendly), groundcover plants, goat herds, maybe even robotic GPS-guided mowers? I'm especially interested to hear from anyone who has analyzed the pros/cons of different methods or who can speak to any approaches that might be site-specific. -- Corey Shalanski Jah Light Solar Portland, Jamaica
