Many Thanks

I thought no 1. was Hog weed or eltrot (as we in Dorset call it) and my horses love it!!! I am a bit of an expert on ragwort - it usually stays in a flat crown for about two - three years but IS flat - then you get the recogniseable tall yellow flowers.

Please, please wear gloves when you are pulling it, even small ones as humans too can absorb it through the skin and get liver failure

I will pop out and take some DEFINATE pics of ragwort

Nickynoodles · 13-04-2007, 12:14 PM

Sorry, for the dark pics but if you look closely you can see!!!!

When we took this farm over last November the place was crawling with Ragwort and although we removed and burnt the lot in a chalk pit - the seedlings are now sprouting up again, so over the next couple of weeks, you know where i'll be!!!!
