Follow the label when using Forefront T Farmers using Forefront T to control perennial weeds such as docks, thistles, ragwort and nettles to turn infested pasture back into productive grassland, must remember treatment comes with certain obligations. “Forefront T must only be used in fields...

Im on a veg growing forum and many swear the failure in their crops is due to chemical residue in their compost. But is this the case now in 2020? I just need to find the facts on this. If fields grasslands are sprayed for say thistle control then will the residue be left in the grass and how...

Last year, we reseeded a field of permanent pasture with a clover and Italian mix. This year it was full of thistle and sprayed it off 2 weeks ago with glyphosate. Should I sow a clover mix long term or 4 year ley without clover just in case more thistles reappear ?
