Hello Fatfish and welcome to the forums, im not sure what you can do with the dock leavesi  put them in my compost bin.  Someone will be along soon to give more help.
If you cant be a good example then you must  be a horrrible warning........


To sit on the fence is not an option

Dock ROOTS would make better tea and/or compost.  If composting, make sure your heap gets HOT or alternatively dry them in the sun before adding.

Nutrients and especially minerals.  (Plus it kills the dock)
