Could you lick the ragworth with roundup????????

IMO any type of spray on the clover swart could seriously stunt its growth??

Are you sure its ragworth?? Have seen a lot of reseeded ground this year covered with redshank.

There is redshank which will die out, unfortunately I know ragwort only too well.
Pulled a lot during the summer, maybe a small handheld sprayer...time consuming but it is a terrible weed to have....and one I want to eradicate.

There's nothing you can use that will kill ragwort but not harm the clover, your only choices are either pull it or spot spray with a knapsack using D50.
