How to make a property thicker

[risto2351]

If you do hinge cutting, those trees are now sprouting all over the place and will have grown into a jungle. The areas where you opened up the sunlight to lots of areas on the forest floor - those areas will now be 3-4' tall with all sorts of new growth - everything from oak regeneration to blackberry/raspberry bushes.

So, a few years and things really get thick, nasty, grown up - all competing for that new sunlight. But, the act of simply hinging, opening things up for one season and putting some trees on the ground will make a very fast difference as well.

Sligh,
I did a ton of edge feathering and aspen cutting last year. I had a lot more activity than usual and I have always heard that it takes 2 - 3 years to really see the results?
I am not able to hinge cut (told to me by my biologist) but have to kill the trees with Tordon.
I was just wondering what I was in for.
