Hi
My MIL has a field which she has the local farmer spray for her to clear various weeds, as required by DEFRA, in order to let it as pasture. The field is 10acre, however the problem she has is as local farmers get bigger and bigger tractors they will not fit through the gateposts - the entrance to the field is through brick gateposts shared with her own home drive. So she is tied to the one farmer, who may not be able to spray it much longer for various reasons.
So, just wondered what the rest of you did - especially with smaller fields - to get rid of weeds that are poisonous to cattle etc. Surely there are other options rather than just having a local farmer spray it with monster tractors?
This is all new to me, but I am looking into it now to help her manage the land, so any suggestions would be welcome - thanks!
