Subject: How do you get rid of Canadian thistle without using herbicide


s.w. Wi.
I have a hay field that was full of Crown vetch and poison parsnip and other weeds that are hard to sell in bales of hay. The landlord will not allow any herbicide use so,I plowed all of that down and put in a heavy Alfalfa/hay mix. Canadian thistle starting coming up in a patch that was about 100' x 150'. The landlord went berserk and claimed I must have planted it with my seed. I'm not even sure where I would buy Thistle seed if I wanted to. It was a really uniform patch though.
I wanted to use 2-4-D on the thistle and just let the clover die off in that area and the landlord said no herbicides at all.
Anyway, how do I get rid of the Canadian Thistle? I am hoping the Alfalfa and the constant mowing will work or can I expect a lot more calls from the landlord in the future.
