Ragwort Season Again!

What a depressing sight!! Ragwort taking over the grazing area for our four horses.
A single plant is capable of producing up to 150,000 seeds which can remain viable in the soil for up to seven years, so imagine what this lot can do!! What we have here is the result of being down-wind of fields in set-aside that have not been topped in time to prevent seed dispersal, so we have a very dense seed bank. We cleared the ragwort last year with the help of a unit of soldiers, but this year the season is obviously very favourable for plant growth and it is worse than ever.

On the recommendation from a friend we have invested in the purchase of four Ragforks and we are absolutely delighted with the usefulness of this simple little tool - very happy to recommend it to anyone with a ragwort problem. This tool enables one to remove ragwort by the roots, which is so important because, if left in the ground, they will produce plants in the next year. With the ground hard and dry it is hard work getting the roots up and I'm sure many broke off in our efforts last year.
