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!

Glyphosphate brushed onto the leaves will do it, but you will need to repeat
the treatment a couple of times.
DONT use a glyphosphate spray. Even on seemingly windless days it still
manages to migrate and burn or kill plants you want to retain.
