NOCan't you work out the 'ratio' yourself?
I have a contractor coming in to do the job, and his first question will be, how much did they tell you to use? So Im only getting some advice!Didn't you learn how to on the courses?
CORRECT ANSWERGet yourself a new contractor!!
On the courses it tells you how to work out the correct dose to which it is very simple so I question the validity of the contractor.
Additionally, imho, we should not be simply advising add Xml of chemical to X ltr of water - as we do not know where the docks are, and they could be on a bank of a pond, stream etc so chemical choice could be wrong?
CORRECT ANSWER
I am know authority on Docks, but I cut my hay on June the 14th, and the few docks that I have, are now at perfect size to spot spray off!Docs have all flowered round here and a lot of them are dying off so is it worth it? I thought it was best to catch them when they're actively growing, before flowering. Spring or early Autumn. Or top them and allow some re-growth.
Usually when a contractor does spraying he is told what rate of chemicals to use from (an agronomist's) recommendation. The contractor doesn't decide for himself how much he is going to put on.Get yourself a new contractor!!
