Actually, organic farmers love Scotch thistle, this plant breaks hard ground apart, and in tired land is a fab fixer, then when it is slashed and dug under to make way for a planting it introduces minerals and trace elements to the ground that contribute to very healthy crops, be that a grass and clover crop, lucerne or perhaps peas, they are a wonderful soil rejuvinator. I jut let them grow, the horses love them, and my old boy lived to 36, my old girl still stands at 30, so they must be good 🙂
