Oh well i bought some grazon 90 from my local agricultural place, no questions asked.
Just spent 2 hrs spraying with a knapsack and after reading on here not to cut buttercups i didn't, i hope they die off?

| It does kill buttercups but only if you cut them and then spray a couple of days later. If you don't cut them, they go 'sad looking' and then recover. |

| Suelin, good point, I think the spot spray amount is smaller, or maybe the other way round. The label has very small writing and there are different instructions for different circumstances. Will search for a ragwort and try it stronger, but I've only had 3 so far and cannot find anymore. Would be brilliant if that works because its always a worry that you have all the root up. Thanks :) |

I have 1 field and no where else to put my 2, and am riddled with buttercups.
I know that you have to keep the horses off of the field for 14 days after - does anyone have any reccomendations? |

With Grazon 90 it's 7 days you have to keep livestock off but preferably 3 weeks, you could always put up temporary electric fence to section paddock. Also if you do use Grazon 90, don't forget to mow the buttercups a few days BEFORE you spray  |

I got my local contractor to spray my fields. I have 4 acres and it took him 20 mins and cost about £65. All the buttercups and weeds are dead . Keep horses off for 2 weeks he advised.
He reckons that next year we may only need spot spraying,
The only paddock he could not do is one that has house on 2 sides , this is an H and s issue and also don't want to kill neighbours gardens off if there is drift.!!!
