It began with the berry patch in 2012. I was younger and more capable, but there is a breaking point that leads to desperation when the plant doesn't give in.

WARNING!: BE SMART & CAREFUL!! This method warrants precautions just as any other commercial chemical products do. The solution will irritate, even burn the skin, so chemical gloves and covering all skin that can be covered is a must!! Also remember what bleach does to fabrics. Wear old clothes and an appropriate apron, if you wish. Refills do get messy and wasteful from bubbling over. Like a high school chem lab experiment. Be sure to use up all of the solution and rinse the bottle and sprayer when your done. Unused solution will not store because the built up pressure will eventually break the spray nozzle cap. Don't ask... So if I think I have treated all the thistle there is to treat, I turn to the dandelion plants (because I actually view dandelions as weeds ) Works like nobody's business. JUST BE CAREFUL, BE CAREFUL, BE CAREFUL!! .....AND SMART ABOUT IT. (Disclaimer, I shall not be held liable for, but not limited to, any bodily injury or damage to any property, etc.)

Probably not the best method, but desperate times call for desperate measures, and it delivers.....with persistence. Hopefully, that will be the case for this plant. Works real well on dandelions, but I don't make it specifically for dandelions. Only for stubborn, persistent plants that are not affected by weed killer. I use it up on dandelions and other weeds using the same method.....set the spray on stream, and contact the plant with the nozzle before spraying.
