[QUOTE="Bury the Trash, post: 6365314, member: 12099"] I dont remember anyonegetting prosecuted for allowing injurous weeds, too many dont do anything about ragwort. The Council highways is as bad as any of them . But yes stopping seeding formation is first priority i guess... after that ..... No idea about French varieties of thistle but..... Creeping thistle is a perennial , its needs tap root reserves wearing down even then it will survive fro m a small thing , tough beggars, i think if you knock it off a t a critical time like just before of at flowering it does most damage..... Spear thistle is a funny one , a biennial that will be got rid of after fewer years than the creepers..and .deff after seeding. Its funny one because it also needs vernalisation before it will grow out into the bigger more upright monster plant that goes to seed. In its first year if its not been vernalised.... and then gone on to flower even if you top it off "in july .... it wont necessarily die" ;) Happy days . Edit. I forgot to say last year we had a small paddock fairly full with spear thistle and gone to flower, was near the buildings ... anyway the outcome ..especially with the sunshine that we had was thousands of bees....... everywhere ..(y):unsure:..:bag: [/QUOTE]
