Anyone know how to kill invasive honeysuckle without using glyphosate? It’s the only thing I still use chemicals on, because I can’t stay ahead of it otherwise. I do try to avoid overspray etc., and only treat the stump. I really hate using it at all.

No, not joking! I’ve heard diesel also works very well, but very reluctant to try that. The key is very careful, targeted application. I know, it all sounds terrible. But these invasives are terribly destructive and must be removed. I wish I could find a better answer. I will keep looking. If someone figures this out, they will be very wealthy. So far, glyphosate is still the least worst option, sadly.

here's a list of other toxins that might work. if you can keep it out of the ground, used engine oil is also a pretty good killer of plants.

Joking I hope.
