I think the best weedkiller for Docks is any weedkiller containing Glyphosate. Only spray directly on the weed you want to kill as it will kill everything it touches.
If you use a glyphosate weedkiller it is possible to plant soon after, best to wait until the ground had dried up for the weedkiller. Glyphosate works through the plant leaves and not the soil, it is inert once it is on the soil.
The weedkiller used in Vietnam was Agent Orange a mixture of 2 4 5 T and 2 4 D in equal quantities.

Yes, you should cut down the large stem with a flower in the middle of your rhubarb plant. Flowering can divert energy from the leaves and stalks, which are the edible parts of the plant.

To effectively use oak leaves as mulch in your garden, first shred the leaves to help them break down faster. Spread a layer of shredded oak leaves around your plants, making sure not to pile them too thickly to avoid suffocating the soil. Water the mulch to help it settle and decompose, providing nutrients to the soil. Replenish the mulch as needed to maintain a healthy garden environment.

To effectively decompose leaves in your garden, you can create a compost pile or bin specifically for leaves. Layer the leaves with other organic materials like grass clippings, kitchen scraps, and soil. Turn the pile regularly to aerate it and speed up decomposition.

yes, it is ok to use soapy water to rid tomato plants of small insects. I put about 1 tsp of liquid dish soap to about 1 1/2 quarts of water. I spray lightly the leaves that have bugs. This is all i use on my garden to kill insects in my whole garden.

Yes, you can freeze rhubarb for later use. Wash and chop the rhubarb into pieces, then spread them on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring to a freezer-safe bag or container. This will prevent the pieces from sticking together and make it easier to use them later in recipes.
