    Jeez, without that stuff, I'd have nothing at all for the cattle! They are thriving on it in fairness. -:)

    Creeping buttercup alright. It's everywhere down here. I sprayed a paddock with agronone 50. I think thats how ya spell it. Anyway. I applied heavier than the recommended rate. Didn't knock a stir out them. Checked them for a few days that's all.

    It takes up allot of ground. You should try running over it with a subsoiler and apply lime and potash

    As said the lime should sort it.

    creeping buttercup it is , spreads like mad by runners , loves wet compacted soil and survives drought (hardly this summer!!), doesnt mind being compacted so often seen on paths etc ... can point to a potassium deficiency in the soil. this is from my horticultulist view point. im also told that it is mildly poisonous to animals and usually avoided by livestock , they may get diarrhoea from it ...

    Thanks lads for your help. It has no flowers, so that's why i didn't know if it was buttercup or not. Don't know when I'm going to be able to spray for it with the weather the way it is!

    Forefront is only thing that worked for me, feckin things have taken over 2 of my re-seeds. They got lime! Tried mortone and "hi-grass" no effect. This was all that worked nd kills off thistels nd docks.
