About neighbors, I then heard that the best pure pinselt the stuff on the leaves.
Actually, one should indeed on newly-seeded turf apply no weed killer. But since the Thistles Been knee-high and a punching brings only short-term improvement, I was then they decided to treat targeted.
So: rubber gloves, grass covered and losgepinselt.
After about 5, no later than 7 days the thistles began to wither. If you still can muster an additional 10 to 14 Days before, you can pull out the thistles almost completely.
Meanwhile, as I said a year has passed, the grass has grown tight and we have of course always a few small Thistles. These are now being gouged always busy from my husband and can hold quite well in check.
Despite all this, I would recommend it for hard cases. On Nettle it has the same effect.
How does it work on other weeds, I can not say.
