New land owner. Weed Id..

[Mark lanark]

Hi there, just joined after reading forum

for a good few years, recently bought a house with 3acres which some is a field and another small portion is a small wooded area. I have these weeds in clusters here and there and was looking to see if anyone can help me Id them, previous owner has strummed a good few. Thanks, mark

The ones in the grass look like docks. Don't go leaning on your wall, doesn't look too sturdy!

Thanks for your reply! If you think the walls bad you want to see the house... built in 1865 and I’ve just started finally renovating, that walls nothing compared to rest .

Wait until they start to green up and then decide whether you need to use a selective weed killer or to spot treat each clump with glyphosate

Could possibly be rosebay willo herb it as above will become clearer in a month or 2

But the strimmer stems in grass do look dock like.

Thanks, I have a glosphate based weed killer here, so il wait until they start to green up and spot treat first as they are in clumps. Couple of sheep would probably graze them out quicker!

The tubular stems could be " cow parsley "  ( related to hog weed ) .

Thanks for replying, the long stems that are left behind are very much like dead wood straws if that makes sense.

The cut off stalks are dock, 99% certain of that and if you take a pic of any leaves amongst them would confirm. Hogweed stalks are a much lighter colour.

 

Struggling to id the tumbled down dead things, look similar to nettle and willow herb but I don't think it's either. Better pic of the leaves and flower structure on them would help.

Not really important as either way a directed application of glyphosate will work. Painted on at a 50:50 watered down mix stirred into wallpaper paste means it only gets what you put it on.

Is either that or u get some weed killer that targets broad leaves.

Not up on weedkiller, but got some Blast/headland flail? off a farmer bloody brilliant stuff on nettles and docks but left grass untouched.

 

But either way as well waiting till spring
