[QUOTE="JMTHORNLEY, post: 6275838, member: 53424"] Found the best way for the rush on my farm and I am slowly winning with them now. Top hard, two passes 2-3 weeks apart on the really old large rush patches with a humongous root ball that sticks out the ground. allow a regrowth of soft green brash and then hit hard with the weed wiper and glyphosphate or the MCPA 2.4D mixture if a large area. I have had to do extensive drainage to get to these palces due to poor management for years gone by.... Spread muck so thick you can't see the ground and smother the little barstewards. They die back over 12 months and so far very small regrowth has been hit the MPCA and 2.4D cocktail to again great effect. Liming will help and also drainage, I have slowly repaired old clay suffs and dug new trenches to help but by no means a permanent fix. [/QUOTE]
