Is it me and my fields or does anybody else have the same.....
There seems to be the odd one compared to last year where I was plagued with it!!! I sprayed one paddock before my sprayer packed up so I can understand that but the other paddocks were pulled by hand and most broke off as the stems had rotted due to it being so wet last year!!!!!! Remember that!!!!!! So I truly believe that it's rotted them down to the root and killed it off. I'm finding the odd feeble excuse of the plant as its popped up but nothing like before at all. The ones I'm finding havnt flowered so not as easy to spot amongst the docks!!!! I can cope with docks though! Any one else the same or noticed there is less?
 
If you're missing it you can come and find great big BUSHES of it in my field! Horses are on a different field so trying to get rid before they come back on, such a mission! Have had it sprayed, did nothing!
 
Can I swap fields with you please? :) We've been in our field for just over 6 months and it's covered in the blasted weed! :mad:

Spent the last couple of weeks digging it all out and every time I look at the ground I'm spotting loads that we've missed :( Think it's the sprayer for them next year ;)
 
Ah don't get me wrong I'm not missing it!!!! Haha just baffled! good point about butter cup! Rather have that any day!!!!!!
 
Last year was so wet i pulled most of my dock up and thats not come back, still have some of the other stuff though not half as much as we had 20 years ago it looked like a sun flower field! Only have about four barrow loads this year thank god though as the other lady said this could be because the buttee cup has choked it!!
