Would anyone bother now. Grass field, has been cut twice and let up for third cut. Second cut they were really bad but grass was to late for spraying and now they are worse still. Was thinking spraying now then again in the spring. Waste of money? Shame because there's a lovely bit of clover up...
Hi,
I’m shortly going to be moving to a house with a small amount of land (which I’ll be keeping my horses on).
There are only 8 acres to manage, but it’s clear that the land hasn’t been actively managed for some time. I could use a contractor to look after things and may still seek their...
.Spent many years and a lot of money on lime trying to get soil pH up and clover into our grassland.Have to some extent succeeded,but have got docks, thistles,buttercups,nettles, the usual culprits, spreading.What spray can I use to clobber them without knackering the clover?
Have about 10 acres of dock infested fields which has some patches of thistles in as well... contractor doesn't mind spraying whole fields but aint hot on patching so if i use doxstar will it kill the creeping thistle?

Is it absolutely necessary to keep the sheep off the grass after it's been sprayed with Thistlex for 7 days, I have a major thistle problem on the sheep paddocks and can separate them off if needed but that would mean paying the contractor to come twice.
It recommends it on the label so guess I...
We are considering reseeding one of the silage fields after 1st cut (1st week of June). The plan of attack is as follows:
- Take 1st cut 1st week of June
- Immediately subsoil with grassland subsoiler
- Spray off once it greens up
- Leave 3 weeks and then direct drill
Since it is a silage...
As above, experienced operators must have loads of thoughts on what they feel is the best all round air induction nozzle to buy and use. its a nozzle minefield out there so any info is most welcome..
Once mixed, how soon should sprays be used up. In particular Round up & Grazing 90 /pro?
I'm talking from the point of view of having the knapsack in the landrover for spraying weeds as I check the stock.
