Dock control after spraying

80sDiesel

Restoring some upland hay meadows so got it sprayed with Forefront T. Fantastic results so far and currently digging out the docks that were missed on the sides of some fields and gaps.

Reducing the fertility at the moment so there will be no slurry put on so there will no introduced seed.

Question is, should I chain Harrow the fieldS this Autumn to bring more seeds to the surface and spray again in Spring?

I sprayed about 5 acres off with it last year as a trial run, i sprayed late spring and at the right stage of growth and quantity of spray measured out to a tee, won't need to touch it this year anyway it's as clean as a whistle, this field does'nt get slurry though.

As a matter of interest why did you choose Forefront T. The reason I ask is have you now sorta sterilised the land of all other broad leafed plants like clover, yellow rattle, plantain etc.

I have an outside farm about 5 miles from my yard, didn't get slurry for 20 years. Docks are as bad there as the fields at home that do get slurry
