The thistles are starting for the year , what are you guys using to kill
thistles but NOT the grass ?
Thanks,
Raz

BTW Would also like to know thee to purchase the product and how to apply
it.


what type of thistles and where are they?

I am assuming in a garden.

If they are stand alone, like a nodder thistle, then a small amount of
roundup painted on the thistle with a paint brush will kill them. If small
enough, not surrounded by other plants and they have not gone to seed douse
them with hot water. Alternately dig them out by hand.

Some thistles have a very extensive root network and pop up in several
places. Roundup knocks those back pretty well (although it may not kill them
off totally).
