<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I am in the process of converting some fescue pastures to native wildflower/grass meadows. I use glyphosate to kill off each pasture 3 times (spring-autumn-spring) then seed it. I understand that flushes of dormant weeds (foxtail, oxeye daisy) are common during
the meadow establishment. <br>
<br>
Biennial thistles (e.g. bull thistle) are showing up in amazing numbers following our 1st seeding. Should I devote as much energy as possible to killing thistles in our native meadows or will they decrease once the native plants get established?<br>
<br>
Thanks to everyone who uses & contributes to this mailing list!<span class="hoenzb"><span style="color:#888888"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
