One of my neighbors put a couple of donkeys in his pasture because somebody told him they would eat musk thistle. He said they would, but only if there’s nothing else to eat. I think I’m stuck with spraying. In the last 20 years, we’ve had new kinds of weeds that we never had before. The theory is that the custom wheat cutters spread them when they move north and south. The thistles and mustard weed are both from Canada, I think. Anyway, they’re a pain.

BTW, I didn’t read the whole thread, I just saw your comment in the “latest replies”. ;>)

You will find all kinds of information throughout the thread on many subjects.....LOL, as I find it.

Yes, many of our problems are imported, for me it is bermuda grass and I hate the stuff....but a friend made a living for many years raising it to sell the seed.

One does what they have to do to make things work, I have tried to be an organic gardner for 50 years and find it is not always possible.

You are welcome to join in the thread...
