What's the best way to get rid of stickers?

I would:

1. Burn the area
2. Till
3. Cover with straw and/or other materials to compost into the soil
4. Cover with Black plastic until spring
5. Till again

I am a little supprised no one has suggested trying a winter cover crop. I know very little about them but could be worth looking into.

Was told by an old timer who was my landlord..he said fertilizing the land heavily will kill the burrs..he just didn't have the money to get it done on the 20 acres of land he was renting out to me. I miss that guy. He was 98 years old when we met and he had been at WWI and WWII and Korean war then after that, the military paid him to go to school and he became a teacher with a BA and MA (rare thing back then) and he had a deaf brother so he could sign with me. Bad thing was that his heart was so defective that when he walked too fast, his face would actually turn blue! He was on heart meds...I moved out of Clyde, TX so never knew if he made it to 100. Wouldn't be surprised if he did. He had goats and his goats ate up all the burrs on his land.
