[QUOTE="Homesy, post: 7576969, member: 71466"] 3 years you're joking. Dock seeds remain viable in the soil for up to 80 years. Each seeded dock can produce 100000 seeds. When a dock grows it produces a hormone which stops other dock seeds germinating. So kill 1 there are another 99999 waiting. I spot spray mine with a knapsack. I use Blaster with some crop oil and some Done That marker. You would be surprised how much you can cover in an hour. The docks get a good hammering and no yield loss in the grass. Even allowing for labour it works out at a fraction of the cost of doing the whole field and does a better job. The yield loss with spraying the whole field can be substantial especially in dry hot weather. Try doing half field and see the difference. [/QUOTE]
