    I sprayed aftergrass with young docks with a soft leaf

    if they have developed a tough stem or gone to seed you are wasting your time and money spraying

    I rest my case!:)

    have done a lot of grazon through a knapsack this year and in previous years,
    pity the price is gone up as nothing compares to it for killing briars

    it would be mighty to have a quad with a handlance you would cover great distances

    I normally only spray ditches to keep back the briars from earthing the electric fence

    Got to hand it to you Whelan2, you're like my reincarnated mother. Jeez she just loved hardship, but inculcated a work ethic in her family. Respect.
