[QUOTE="JockCroft, post: 8825206, member: 166068"] Ollie, I actually was not joking. My area did not have any ragwort until maybe 10 years ago. I vividly remember seeing a single plant in flower at the main road junction about a mile away. Why did I not have the sense to have gone a pull it and get rid of it? Neighbour and I spoke about it but never had time. Within 3 or 4 years fields bordering us had quite a few plants, then road side ditch. I try and pull each year and with sheep grazing kept fairly well of. Neighbour is Cattle only grazing and knocks hell out of it with a flail topper every few weeks so few plant flowering with him. Now we have Bracken appearing. One or two last year. Now finding a lot of small plants A solid strip in a road ditch half a mile away and it appearing out on the Peatlands. Spot spraying to keep it of the permanent pasture. Have you ever heard of any prosecution under the Weeds act? [/QUOTE]
