How do you permentantly move bull nettles?

I have these irritating stinging weeds all over my yard and pasture. My boys have both been drawn in my their "pretty" white flowers and both got stung. Any suggestions on removal?

How do you permentantly move bull nettles?
I was ALWAYS a nettle victim!! Just couldn't resist the flowers!!



You need a three point plan: #1 Spray with Round-Up. Out in the pasture you can just SPRAY!! In your yard, use a piece of cardboard to protect the "good" plants that are next to the nettles!! #2 REMOVE (it takes about a week to ten days for the plants to die) any of the dead plants that have flowers/seeds on them (so they can't come back next year!!!!). DO NOT put these in your compost. #3 Next spring,spray EARLY!! If you spray BEFORE the plants set seed, you will cut the cycle!!



Good Luck!!!

Reply:I use Round-Up to get rid of nettles,poison ivy %26amp; oak etc. If you really want to be sure their gone use the brush killer version. Be aware Round-Up kills anything green it lands on, hopefully you don't have to pick around other plants ! It will do the job though ! Good Luck....
