I mean regular hogweed, not the giant variety thank goodness.

It should be good enough to hit it with any broadleaf specific herbicide
assuming it is in grass or glyphosate if you don't mind a bit of
collateral damage and scythe it down in flower before it sets seed.


I haven't found glyphosate to be effective, possibly I've been a little
late in the season. Do you have a particular boradleaf herbicide to
recommend? (If it kills dock and too, that would be just fine...)

Thanks,
