secretagentmole 1,701 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Sorry for the tease, never heard of short term death, I always thought it was a pretty long term thing, I always pull Ragwort out when I see it on my permissions and put it on the burning pile the landowner has! No risk to his livestock or the horses stabled there then! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
