Cutting/mowing the thistle down as it goes into flower (but well before pollination) will kill off a stand.

The vinegar is applied just as the flower buds are setting when the plant is at its weakest. I have dug roots 24 inches long and still left a piece in the ground; don't recommend cutting them up...just increases the problem. Good luck with this weed which we call El Corazon de Diablo...the heart of the devil. Please keep posting with your results. Lucy Goodman Boulder Belt Eco-Farm Eaton, OH |
