[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 6993959, member: 44728"] Maybe it's a matter of perspective - v - snowflakiness! Certainly, there are now restrictions on the use of Forefront for good reasons. However, ALL sprays will leave residues and those residues have different effects. IMO opinion, Forefront is the best product to eliminate Ragwort. Forefront's residue effect on Gardens wasn't picked when the product was launched and it was only after they were seen that those restrictions against it being used on grass field used for horse grazing were put into place. However, I had used it before those restrictions had come into place. But fortunately, none of my horses' droppings were ever used on any gardens. If you have ever seen what Ragwort poisoning does to a horse and the agony it suffers before ultimate death, your perspective about using Forefront is affected. Pulling Ragwort isn't fine because horses will not touch it as long as it is growing. However, as soon as you pull it, it starts to become palatable. If you aren't careful enough to absolutely make certain that you got every leaf and absolutely none of it dropped onto the field once pulled, then good-bye horse! [/QUOTE]
