How do you dispose of your dug up ragwort?

Just wondering.

I'm going to have a go at clearing Mollie's field. Apparently the council here used to dispose of it, but they don't now.

What do you do with yours? :confused:
 
Yeah burn it. I put a few pieces I found under my muck hill when I was being lazy and the little bs have only worked their way to the top and are growing!! I sorted them once and for all.. :mad:
 
Burn it!

I had to get a licence from the council as my neighbours complained about my beautiful bonfire ... now I have permission ;)
 
Burn it, although dont let your dad go crazy with lighter fluid on it, my dad set his legs on fire and had hairless legs for months, was pretty funny watching him sprint for the trough then sitting in it though :D
 
I know burning's best but mine is very wet and has clumps of wet clay soil adhering to the roots. Am storing it for it to dry out. Should I chuck some petrol on it?:eek:
 
Kill it with fire!

Although sometimes I think that our hay/haylage supplier is actually farming the stuff:mad:

I seem to spend more time sifting through the hay/haylage for ragwort than I do at anything else. Was both surprised and relieved to find that Hippo is too smart to eat it, even once it is dried and pretending to be hay/haylage! Very clever mare...still not taking any chances though!

At least I get a break from it at home though. No ragwort there. Oh wait...what's that in the middle of the front lawn? Arghh - blasted weed has followed me home!

Sorry, but :D :D :D

After the recent thread in Veterinary, I'm considering parcelling mine up and sending it to the Netherlands ;) :D
 
If it is really wet, and hasn't yet flowered/ seeded and burning isn't an option the seal it in plastic bags and let it turn to mush
