We have boom sprayed, spot sprayed, hoed, and pulled Canada thisle so far this year. The third crop of thistle is bolting now and the kids are losing interest. The good news is that one of the neighbors is feeling guilty enough to start spraying also. Most of our pasture is too rocky to mow and has too much clover to boom spray - - so I am thinking about using a wiper with Round up for a change of pace. Any other suggestions?
P.S. We burn any blooming thistle plants we pull. I have not seen them re root, but do oI think there is enough nutrients in the stem that the seeds can still become viable. Besides, I get a lot of satisfaction out of seeing them burn...
