    Thistles

    I re seeded a field last year and there's a lot of thistles growing on it, what's the best spray or way to get rid of them? It's a 10 acre field so might spot spray with knapsack

    Will the rain ever stop

    Sorry for moaning but I'm fed up of the rain.. We have had one or two days where it's been nice. Land dries up then rain again and it's saturated.

    Applying Lime

    I have a 12.5 acre field that has an average ph5. And a problem with reeds as the field gets very wet. I have been advised to apply lime to up the ph level and wonder how much per acre. TIA

    Looking back at my spray records, where did it all go wrong?

    Writing up my spray records from just applying some pre-ems, I looked back to mid 2000's. The amount of chemicals we use now compared to then and how we got by with simple fungicides makes it look like the industry has gone down the pan. A lot of actives have gone and those left we have been...

    Docks in grass seeds

    Put grass seeds in about 3 weeks ago, they are up and away. Sprayed with roundup first, should I be spraying for docks again now or wait until Spring. I can see the little buggers there starting to grow. Our two Spring reseeds were not sprayed at all, tried to be clever, it didn't work, now...

    Spot spraying

    So we have some established docks and thistles etc that I want to get rid of. Knapsack and quad sprayer. Grazon pro. Doxstar Pro. Pastor. Thistles. What to use? Rather have something that will work on all rather than just one weed but does it do as good a job?
