Controlling Tansy Ragwort Keeps Livestock Safe From Poisonous Weed

[@feargach2107]

The traditional way to do it in Ireland is to pull the plants after rain when the soil is loose.

Smart! Good tip

[@kendyb9555]

Is common tansy- Tanacetum vulgare the same in terms of toxicity to livestock?

[@tonymontgomery5827]

Tansy worms are the best control.

[@mpreiss7780]

And if the tansy is full grown, can you still kill with pesticides or need to wait till spring?

[@jwrobin21]

Ragwort control. If you can pull it up, throw it out on a busy road (evening) and the traffic will destroy it by the next morning. Works even if the plant is getting ready to seed.

We have this but just in our 1 acre property. The Milestone Herbicide I'm seeing on Amazon is $100+. Are there and good cost effective options?

White vinegar and salt

and what about the seeds in the soil that are dormant /soil saturation of herbicides/forget it....better to pay someone to dig them out / gives someone a job !
