Dock invasion!!

KingKenny77

I've got about 17 million dock weeds growing in my garden and need a way of blasting the bas***ds once and for all. Way to many to dig up, and I have some nice fruit trees established so I don't want to go rotavating. Is there any miracle juice that I can dose them with that will kill them without effing up everything else?

Yep..
There is a product called "Dockstar", it's an agricultural product used for clearing docks from pasture without affecting the grass... However it's expensive..
Think it's about €90 for 3 litres which treats 3-4 acres..

another spray is Bandock in 1 liter bottle

Thank you both. Will those products kill the docks for good? I read that the roots go fairly deep. I'm hoping to kill the docks and re-seed a lawn.

Appreciate your feedback folks.

If your just going to reseed anyway why not use a roundup type product?
You'll be killing off the grass anyway if your reseeding, unless you're overseeing the lawn.
Yes both products kill the docks off completly.
