My client is searching for some gardeners / labourers to assist on their land at a private house. There is a large amount of ragwort plant and this needs to be removed.
There are two main methods that can be used to treat ragwort. The method used is largely dependent on how far the ragwort has spread, the current use of the land and if there is a watercourse nearby.
Pulling/Digging/Excavation
If the ragwort is present within a small area then hand pulling or digging can be appropriate. If utilising this method, it is essential that all of the root system is removed as ragwort can grow back from small pieces of the root system. If the ragwort is present over a large area then diggers and other machinery can be used to excavate it.
Herbicide
The use of herbicide on ragwort can be extremely effective however the use of it is dependent on what the land is used for and if it is near a watercourse. If the land is used for livestock or crops then herbicide can be dangerous and should not be used.
Pay: GBP10.50 per hour
