Herbicide for thistles that will not kill clover

Hello

Anyone know of a herbicide that will NOT kill clover but will kill thistles?

Have already checked Grazon, Thistlex etc. They all kill clover.

Thanks.

For thistles Clovermax would be the best, for docks I would use Eagle. They are not as good as the others but make sure spray on calm evening after sun. The Clovermax has a long rainfast time think 6 hours so for best kill make sure no rain forecast.

Cut them and put them into big pile and burn them no easy way with gorse

Any advice for ferns/bracken?

Asulux for ferns, it gets taken off and put back on the market fairly regularly so you might have to wait.

I found topping it twice worked for me. I cleared land and the bracken shot up, topped it, it grew again, then I topped it again and that was the end of it.

I'd have to top it by hand as it is in rough ground, and you'd have to really keep on top of it like you did. I was hoping somebody might know whether they were going to approve asulox for this year as my Google skills are failing me.

Thanks
