Hello!
New problem...we recently bought a small holding and our field has ragwort.
After enquiring into dealing with the ragwort, we were advised to cut it, and when it begins to grow again we can get it sprayed....
...we bought the old (very old) tractor the previous owners were selling with the property so we thought no problem!
The tractor had a breakdown after an hour of cutting (the radiator pipe split and we've ordered a new one but it's coming from France which may take a while).
Question - what do we do? Leave the field and write it off until next year or hire someone to come and cut the rest of the field?
I am a bit worried because our neighbours have sheep grazing in the field next to ours, how toxic is ragwort?
All advice greatly appreciated!!
