Are the actives in Blaster safe for grazing ground? It's not one I've noticed before.You can try to thistleX them now but if they are all shapes and sizes and multiple feet tall don't expect a 100% kill. In a late summer situation they are best all topped down and then the regrowth sprayed.
You may hit the survivors with blaster or similar from a knapsack. The dose given to each weed will be much stiffer and with a higher chance of success.
Buy some marker dye from your usual stockist and add to the tank whenever using a knapsack to apply herbicide. Makes it a lot easier to see where you have been and I find it more satisfying.

Blaster Pro - still available on the Pitchcare website, so likely is current. Described as "An emulsifiable concentrate containing 240 g/l triclopyr (present as 334 g/l of triclopyr butotyl) and 60 g/l (5.5% w/w) clopyralid."It is no doubt called something else now but the product I was referring to was one of the very few approved for knapsack use. No doubt in the raft of forever changing labels it's contents are now either banned, impossible to source or changed completely anyway. Thrust used to be an alternative but you would need to check labels.
Because of the individual dose involved from knapsack application, you'll generally get better results, even on huge weeds compared to that applied by a boom sprayer.

Is it worth spraying them at this time of year? I have similar issues along with nettles as well on a couple of bits of ground that evaded the sprayer at the start of the season.

edit - bugger, no. It's OOS and recommends Grazon Pro

As far as I’m aware blaster pro and grazing pro are one and the sameBlaster Pro - still available on the Pitchcare website, so likely is current. Described as "An emulsifiable concentrate containing 240 g/l triclopyr (present as 334 g/l of triclopyr butotyl) and 60 g/l (5.5% w/w) clopyralid."

My experience is spraying creeping thistle this time of year is most successful,Is it stays mild and they are actively growing, you would probably get better results than if you tried to get them in a cool spring.
really? the ones here look as though they are dying nowMy experience is spraying creeping thistle this time of year is most successful,
As ollie says it’s actively growing get it sprayed
