Please would you all check your lawns for ragwort, I know it is a time


I hope that some ragwort is left for the moths.

Ron


No Ron, I will remove every bit of ragwort that I can. Risk killing my
pony, I dont think so.


Am I right in thinking that if ragwort is found on land belonging to you,
you might be fined for it?

Franz


No. This is a common myth. You can be ordered to congtrol ragwort on
agricultural land only. You do not have to do anythign unless ordered
and there is not even any legal compunction on anyone to order you to
do so.
