Call your extension agent to find out what type of thistle you have first.
Canada thistle can regrow from a half-inch piece of root, so you wouldn't
want to till that.

We have one field with a tremendous thistle problem and low organic matter.

I applied heavy amounts of compost this week based on the weeds denote
imbalance principle.

We also have a spader that can till 10 inches deep.

Any suggestions for strategy? Thanks,

Scott
