[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7719646, member: 818"] Pull as much as you can now, and burn it (take care when pulling it not to to agitate the seed heads and allow seeds to blow everywhere, as the plants will be dying and preparing to release seeds at this time of year). A small garden fork is helpful to loosen the soil around the root, makes getting it all out intact much easier. If you can't pull it all try at least to remove the seed heads and burn them, you don't want millions of seeds blowing everywhere, as they will be soon if you do nothing. Then spray in the spring with Forefront T, its about the only grassland spray that really has an impact on ragwort in all its stages of growth, its expensive but it does work. Then pull anything that escapes the spray next summer, and from then on. Forefront can only be used on grazing land, so you can't use it if you plan to make hay or silage from the ground. [/QUOTE]
