Id pasture weed if you will please

[Naturaldane]

This is a friends pasture, no grass just this plant. I knew what it was at one time but forgot, it smells soo good.

It looks like rabbitbrush but I thought that only grows in the west?

I ment to post this is the horse forum since more people there are in Ga.. but hey yall are great folks too, hopefully some one can ID it, I think Chris and I are the only Georgians here, but as far as I know it grows in Canada.
Its leaves almost look like rosemary, I cant believe a weed smells as good as this thing does.

Bitter sneezeweed, now if anyone knows how to kill it without harming horses, I have yet to find it,

I was born in Vidalia and now live in Uvalda. I'm Georgian to the bone....:banana02:
There is a lady near Reidsville who wanted before and after pictures. I PM'd her but didn't answer. There are others who post on occasion.

I've seen your plant but I have no idea what it is.

I can't say what's right for you to use but I can tell you what I have used for about 9 years now, a STRONG vinegar (I make my own.) It kills what I spray and I haven't had any issues with my horses with it yet (a matter of a fact I put apple cider vinegar in their water tanks. I should say that the ACV I put in their tanks isn't as strong as the stuff I spray the plants with.)

I am not sure it'll kill your bitter sneezeweed or not but it has killed off a lot of weeds for me.

Yup sneezeweed. All I have is dog bane.Drought killed off all the grass and the weeds are gorwing like mad.Had some nasty weather yesterday too. We had 15" rain in 2 days and everyones driveways are washed into the main roads,bridges out, and lake lanier only went up 2feet.

how do you make your own vinager, always wanted to know.

Chris, its yuckie down here as well, but hey, my eletric fence for the goats is working now, and before now I didnt know my horses had white feet (the skinnies) I had not given them a bath. I am very thankful we dont have carpet, however because I would have had to ban the dogs from the house.
