We have 2 fields sectioned into various paddocks that I rotate the horses and sheep around. In the last 4 years we havent treated the fields with anything at all and manually removed any ragwort.
Last year we noticed lots and lots of docks and this year there are more docks than there is grass - or so it seems.
So I took some advice and a fellow horsey friend of mine advised me to use Grazon 90. She doesnt collect her manure or grow veggies - unlike us.
So when i read the instructions, it tells me to keep horses off for 7 days - no problem. THEN I read the part that says not to use the manure but doesnt give a timescale - so does that mean not to use the manure EVER? Or what? And if we've never to use the manure, what on earth does this mean that we are indirectly feeding our horses/sheep??
I spoke to our local farmer and he says he's used it before but they dont collect or use their manure so apparently less of an issue for them.
Any thoughts/advice please?
