(quoted from post at 23:49:06 08/12/12) I live in Pierce Co. Washington, and we have a county agent , that comes around yearly, looking for Tansy Ragwort growing on my place.I have been here 12 yr's now, and still have ragwort apearing yearly, but not as heavy, as in the past! I fight it every yr, and never give it a chance to flower, I use Roungup on it, and check the same ground at 2 wk intervals, all thru the growing season. The seed is simular to dandelion, and blows with the wind. If my neighbors, and the state, and county road depts, and Fort Lewis, dont control their Tansy, then I will never get rid of it! I wonder if the county noxious weed agent, ever gets on anyone except Me? Yes I am whining! however I am sick and tired of the chemical expense every yr, and being BIG BROTHERED, when I can drive down the road and see the stuff all around the area. I feel like I am the only one fighting Tansy!
