    I got advice before on my buttercup problem and as a result I sprayed my paddock twice this year and suceeded in getting rid of most of the buggers.... I noticed now that some are making a comeback.... Is there any point spraying again at this time of year or should I wait til Spring ??? Thanks:)

    Might be worth getting soil tests done this autumn buttercups can be a sign that land is lacking lime

    Thanks for that, I did put lime on it last year, would this be a good time to put more on..... I will get soil tested.... I cant remember the name of the spray now but it was recommended to me and did get rid of a lot of them.... What would you recommend ??

    In my experience with buttercups its about controling rather than eliminating the beggers
