    most definitly yes- gallup would be my prefered choice-around ten days before the plough

    Normal practice is to spray with a systemic herbicide- Roundup or Gallup would be normal- and then to reseed using an aerator.

    Interesting article in the farmer's Journal from last year here

    There are other possibilities- which will depend on site type and other individual factors- but they could work out a lot more expensive in the long run than a conventional reseeding programme
