The common blue-sow-thistle is a terrible weed! We were first happy to see its beautiful blue flowers but it did not take long before we realized that it was very difficut to keep it in the corner of the garden where it started to grow. After a bit of googling, we learnt that the only way was to cover the ground with dark plastic and let it be there for a couple (!) of years. Unfortunately our cover was not big enough so we could see how it came back with force.
Our new attempt to cover the area where it has started to grow is an ark ! We have put up a raised bed, covered the ground with a fiber filt, put soil on top of that and intend to grow vegetables and flowers in "the ark".
Hopefully we can remove the ark after two years and the common blue-sow-thistle is gone but who knows?
