Queen Anne's Lace management

mardi 8 août 2017

One of my fields (7 acres) is having a bad issue with Queen Anne's Lace.   I've yet to find a fix for this as 2,4-D never wants to touch it, and the lady who owns this field wants it to stay 'organic' with no 'chemicals' on it so there's not a lot I can do.  It's just a grass/clover mix, and last year 3rd cutting I made incredible hay off this field, some of the best I've ever done.

 

Tonight I started mowing the field with my brush hog raised up about 14 inches or so just to cut the tops of the QAL off (but not any grass) before they turn to seed and spread more babies.

 

Will this help some or am I just wasting my time?  Mowing a 7 acre field with 5' rotary mower takes time, and the field is pretty bumpy so I can't just haul ass either.
