There was a bumper crop last year because the grass crop was so poor because of lack of moisture. A healthy thick grass yard is an excellent preventative.Pastora kills the plant, not the seed. You have to kill the seed when it tries to germinate, which can take 5-7 years to get them all, but you have to stop the plant from sprouting because then you have more seed. It takes a double attack on both seed and plant, and most of all it takes patience and perseverance.  Pre-emergent that dwells in the soil and something like pastura to kill the plant. Sometimes it takes a couple applications of both at different times of the year. Control is not easy.Fire is a good tool, as long as you have enough fuel to completely consume the seed. If you don’t it will only make them worse.I got no clue on goatheads. Except I’ve had them go all the way thru a hunting boot and poke a hole in my foot. They are, as someone said,  “of the devil”.</blockquote>
