[QUOTE="brigadoon, post: 9017875, member: 49880"] Are your drains running and is the water table reasonably well below ground? If you have dense rushes it does not sound like it - and if your drains are not working you are probably wasting time and money until they are. Mowers - makes no odds - if you use a disc mower you can bale for bedding. (yes it does work and if the muck is going on to drained ground no you will not spread rushes) Regrowth - no point in spraying or wiping - if you are going down that route then do not bother cutting. Wiping with roundup works fine, if you go the cutting route then cut at least twice in the season. Worry about re-seeding after you get the rushes under control. If you are worried about the seed bank then disc it - leave it 2-3 weeks and spray or disc again before seeding. [/QUOTE]
