As with all horse grazed fields we had a lot of dock growing in the beginning. Each year in the spring I have been spraying them with Roundup, and then at this time of year cutting off the seed heads. There are many fewer this year that cutting the seed heads only took two hours (previously it has taken up to two days!).
This year I have also discovered Roundup Gel - the trouble with the spray is that it killed a section of other plants around the dock and left a bare patch where - more docks grew! The gel is selective and seems to work very well.
Next task is pulling the Ragwort.
