After fighting with those thistles all the time, I've seen this tool on several in several gardening catalogues/websites called "Speedy Weedy" and wonder if anybody has purchased it to use to dig up those stupid thistles and how effective it is? I saw it on Vesey's website and have seen it on others.

Would using white vinegar on the thistles kill them? You hear and see ads about putting white vinegar in a spray bottle and using it instead of Round up to kill weeds.
