[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 3709925, member: 1546"] First off, do you live in a town/city? Do they have ordinances about burning? Don't light anything with just a bucket of water available. You need at least a garden hose that reaches as far as you plan on burning and a little further. If you have a 2nd hose with someone to man it, that is better. You need a burn plan before starting as well. A little wind will help with direction the fire will burn. A fire burning with the wind will move faster and can be tougher to control. A fire burning backwards/against the wind will burn slower and more complete. It will be easier to control. On a small yard, you can pre wet a good edge where you want to start the burn and then light along that edge and let it back burn across the yard. A weed blower can be used to help steer or speed up a burn. A good lawn sprayer applicator (person) will be night and day difference over a bad applicator. [/QUOTE]
