Hi--

We don't seemto get the monster thistles here, just the little ones
which are pretty.  But the large leafed plant that gets smallflowers and
terrible burrs arevery invasive and cause havoc, especially if youhave
dogs.  One of mine, when a pup, came home foaming at the mouth and the
vet found a throatfull ofburrs and a very torn-up mouth (labs are
wonderful but sometimes nottoo bright).

I wonder if your method would work on these.  But with seven acres,
Iguess it would takeme all summer.
