[QUOTE="best defense, post: 2863198, member: 25241"] The brush will always grow back as long as the roots are there. My first suggestion would be to kill the brush with weed killer. After that, if you can get a brush hog in there to rip out the roots that would be a step into having a clearing big enough for your tent. You would still need to tamp the soil down and probably put down some kind of ground cover. If you could get some of that stuff the road crews use under new pavement, it would help prevent new growth. Any time the tent is not there, new seeds could blow in and start new growth. If you could build some sort of platform to set the tent up on but would stay after the tent is removed, it would serve as a semi-permanent ground cover and possibly help when you decide to put up a permanent building.
