Had a walk around my hay earlier today, mowing Tuesday…?

last year there were no docks in it at all, suddenly, this year, loads!!

What can I spray to kill them when they start to regrow after a cut of hay? Problem is, I only want to kill the docks, not the clover etc etc…

I think Squire Ultra is about the only ‘clover safe’ herbicide now, but not sure how effective it would be against strong docks.

Weedwiper perhaps? Anything will either kill the clover, or they will grow back after grazing.
