[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1274660, member: 5381"] On pastures with bad problems it will take a few years of spraying every year to get it under control. Every year will be a little better and eventually you may get to where you only have to spray every other year. The lime will help some as it will make your grasses stronger and hopefully they will choke out some weeds. I have a sandy loam pasture that just had a horrible wooly croton problem when I bought it eight years ago. I still have to spray it every year but it is lots better. I also have black land tract that was untouched for 7 or 8 years. It was almost all weeds and very little grass. Bluebonnets were like carpet. I used grazon p + d on it the first year and had a tremendous response. The native grass is flourishing. I used GrazonNext the next year to help with the milkweed with more good results. I still have some weeds but probably less than 10% of the original. I didn't spray at all this year. 2-4-d is a good product but it is best to buy the good stuff for the first couple of applications. I would recommend that you go ahead and buy a sprayer. They are well worth the investment and if you own you own then you can spray when needed and then touch up what gets missed or try a different ingredient if something doesn't die. [/QUOTE]
