    no need to spray,the sheep will clean up the grass for you.

    The only thing you have to make sure is to make the sheep graze it bare, and if you see any thistles spray them.

    I be suprised if there is not seedling docks (dock seeds can survive in the ground 50+years) dandlooins, thistles and other perniels. If you use a post emergence spray now it will kill all the rubbish it is alright saying the sheep will eat them but they will only wipe out annuals completely. I be inclined to spray. Can you see the clover leaf forming if so go in and spray. Also make sure you do not have chickweed.
