Creeping buttercup

80sDiesel · 2020-06-10 14:01:02

I have a section of creeping buttercup beginning to invade a wildflower meadow. Should I just bite the bullet and spray roundup. Have normal roundup and roundup biactive which I think is 25ml to 1 litre

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.

Buy forefront T. Kills it stone dead but could kill the wildflowers too. Will not harm grass.

Upping the ph will curtail it - so try liming

Probably best to do spot/ strip treatment of a selective herbicide. If you go in early spring you would also miss some of the annual wildflowers

No need for forefront. Buttercup is pretty easy to kill. Good old MCPA will do the trick
