    is it two late to go with a post emergence spray now? I reseeded ground the middle/end of august and the grass seeds got a slow start due to drowth but plenty of docks came alright. can I spray away still or is it too late.

    I sorta wondering the same. But one way or another I couldn't travel on the land anyway, so I'm wondering would I need to spray in the spring as conditions allow or just graze?
    It looks clean at present, and we never sprayed post emergence before.

    We sprayed a reseed saturday with pastor as it was disappointingly full of docks. First time we ever did but thought we needed to this time, looked this morning and any chickweed has already started to bend over and hopefully docks wont be long to long!
    If you choose to id try do it next day or 2, nights are getting colder and days shorter so it will take longer to travel through to roots...

    Any point in attempting to get out and spray now? soil tempratures are still pretty high. Would I be wasting my time?

    reseeded a 10 acres in august

    got 5 acres sprayed with underclear 2 weeks ago - happy enough with the results

    sprayed another 2.5 acres yestarday even though it is quite cold they should still be growing

    couldn't get at the last bit as it's so soft

    Would it be too late to spay at end of October?

    if what you are spraying is still growing then maybe chance it otherwise leave off esp if the weather turns cold
