/diy/ I'm in such a shit position at the moment. I've got a house that I've let the front and back get absolutely overrun with Russian Thistle (tumbleweeds)

Season is long over so not much I can do now.... But now I'm in a lovely predicament on how to get rid of this shit. I don't wanna keep spending money on it. I figure I can just pull a few a week crush them up and put them in a bin, since I don't really wanna just tackle a giant dumpster or something. But that still sucks. I don't care if my yard looks like shit for a while.

>My mower can't get over them
>Going through with a carbide blade isn't doing shit
>Don't wanna start a fire near my house
>Last quote I got to deal with the yard was like $1500 which is absurd

Any suggestions on what to do here? I figure I can just spend the next six months pulling them but that does suck
