What is the best way to get rid of these damned (and painful! ) weeds? We
keep finding new ones that are growing among well established and bushy
plants, so digging them up is impossible - and the roots on them stop us
pulling them out.........help please - before I get prickled to death!

Keep chopping the tops off. I had nearly half an acre of those plus other
weeds. Went over them a few times with a rotoscythe until just grass came up
and eventually put horses to graze, so it is possible.
