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). rob |

My garden was over-run with thistle for a few years - Round-up didn't appear to kill it the first time - it kept reappearing - but after 2 years it is gone completely. |

Well, the deadbeat renter that rents the land next to us, did not spray for thistles last year . I am not on speaking terms with him but if he doesn't spray his soon, the ASCS office will get a call from me. Raz |

Raz by hand with the aid of a knife if you can get them early enough, root around in the soil and pull the entire thistle out, or if big or in clumps roundup (I use it neat for some tough plants or watered down for others) applied with a small paint brush to the leaves. If an extensive rooting thistle you will be round uping for a long time but will knock it back significantly. Provided it is possible my preference would be by hand. rob |
