I have a heavy infestation of thistles on a hill with crown vetch. Is there a spray that will kill the thistles but not the crown vetch?
X2 When we moved to these 6 acres there were 4 or 5 thistle beds you could loose a horse in - plus plenty of single plants. We sprayed (specialist product name long forgotten), we de-headed before mowing, we pulled singletons up by hand - if you grab the base of the stem and tug up/down you can break its grip and pull it out root and all - like a carrot. We tried to get to them before they went to seed. Wife & I kept at it in spring for 3+ years before we really broke the back of it and then another 3+ yrs mopping up stragglers . . . but for the last 10 years I'm lucky to find more than 1 or 2 plants a year.(quoted from post at 11:48:57 07/19/20) . . .Thistles take at least two years to eradicate . . . .
