Anyone know what spray to use on thistles? Need to use a non-restricted use herbicide. Will Roundup kill them?
Thanks,

I use an old adze ( old timber cutters tool) and nice and sharp and don't hit the ground . Watch the follow through though for it hurts if you bury it in a shin.
Nah-try it againdun":1g4sbwgr said:Chopping them off just postpones things. As long as the tap root is viable you will get regrowth. That's why 2,4d is so effective.dun

Does it have yellow berries on it when they're ripe? That would be the same bull nettle we have. Repeated spraying with remedy and water will eventually take care of it. Problem is, each of those berries have aproximatley a jillion seeds. We had an occasional plant and managed to control them, we thought, with spraying hem before they went to seed. During the last year when so much of the grass died from the drought, every bare spot sporuted up in more BNs then you can count. Even in fields that hadn;t had them before that we had seen. This year we'll be hitting thr fields with a mix of Grazon and Remedy and hope that gets them.
