vanderbadger

eagle is supposed to be good i think, no experience myself, think a small bottle is about 90 quid though :eek:

padowado

Nettle ban....Ban dock etc etc.......these will also kill
clover......clover makes its own Nitrogen

pastor... just rang my spray man

reilig

MCPA for the thistles and nettles. Its safe on established clover. However, it will only stunt docks - so you'll have to do them with something else.

i use eagle on the docks

and i love using grazon 90 on a day like today-walking around in the sweltering sun topping up my red neck:D

used doxtar on docks last week, doing the job, supposed to go out again in autumn, only have trouble with thistles + nettles around ditches and going to use bandock (same active as scrub killer) for them. was going to use pastor but doxtar is easier on grass i was told (going out after grazing).

No need to worry. Weedkiller usually goes straight to the root. You say the grass has started to die off? Once the grass starts to whether it is totally safe. Dogs rarely eat grass anyhow, unless there's thunder on the way
