@lovemesomejoolery -- One more thing if you go the Iron X route. Add a garden type (like Spray-Grip by Master Nurserymen) surfactant to the dillution. It reduces the surface tension of a liquid and helps the solution adhere to the plant instead of beading up like plain water. You could use dish soap if you use it sparingly, but my experience has been that dish soap tends to foam up until it, too, is diluted enough over time with watering. It won't hurt but it's annoying.

You're welcome. Hope it works for you.

Gardens Alive makes a selective weed killer which works on Bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare). It's called Iron X® Selective Weed Killer for Lawns. Active Ingredient is Iron HEDTA (FeHEDTA). I use it on my lawn to kill dandelions. After it dries (in 3 hours) it doesn't wash off, won't transfer to pets and children or enter ground water. Follow instructions. It actually makes my lawn greener in spots where the dandelions were sprayed and died. HTH.

Beauties with huge personalities. Beanie loved to travel. He watched the world go by sitting on the hatchback cover of my VW. I took him everywhere. Cecil was a bully. Picked fights with every cat he would come across and winning most. Was also a talker and a snuggle puss.

Love the names, too. I had a couple kitties a lifetime ago, a Burmese named Beanie and a Norwegian Forest named Cecil.
