I put a highschool kid in the field with a 4-wheeler and a garden-variety flamer.
He just scorched the crap out of the plants.........and surprisingly it worked.
I was always told that canadian thistle grows from the root, and therefore, unless the root dies, there will be continual growth. Therefore, flaming should have been only a one year deal..........lasted for about five years.
