[QUOTE="The Ruminant, post: 7738597, member: 487"] Docks appear when the soil is damaged - poaching in wet weather or, as you’ve found, drainage channels that disturb the soil. We had docks in neat circles across a field where we first tried bale grazing in a wet autumn, 150+ animals crowded round a few round bales for a day at a time left perfect circles of poached land. The docks could be seen on Google maps for a number of years afterwards. Most pasture soils have a seedbank full of dock seeds (and other weeds). They generally don’t germinate unless conditions are right (which is lucky or we’d have fields taken over by them and thistles etc. ) [/QUOTE]
