    Did a reseed job and grass looks grand. Managed the turn around in 57 days !!!!!!!!!!! Sprayed before and after as recommended but I still have a few nice big docks ???? What did I do wrong ? Should I spray again ? What product ?

    The dock seed is probably in the ground or else it could have been in slurry (if you put some out?).

    I never spray after a reseed. There are often a few weeds in the early growth, but i normally let the sheep eat it and what usually comes up is nice grass. ie. as the grass comes up thisker, it usually smothers the weeds.

    Knapsack and glyphosphate! Dead docks, no set back to new grass.;)

    id say if you have sprayed once you may be as well leave it a while, too much spray wil only destroy the clover maybe

    could you spot spray the docks with grazon90... bit of work with the knapsack but it will be worth it if you prevent them from going to seed.

    did you plough or min till
    we disced for a reseed last year. i feel now that the plough is still a good job as it buries weed seeds.
    direct drilling is also a good option but maybe be prepared to spray twice. you've saved on diseal so dont be too upset if you have to spend a bit of the saving on chemical and a pass of the sprayer

    Ploughed it myself with a MF 35 and 2 furrow plough. Used discs then followed by land leveller. rolled first and then spread seed with the vicon. Turned out grand. Few small clods turned over by crows but looks well now. grazed for 24 hours with cows. Perfect except for those few docks ???????????????
