HELP!
Please can any one tell me how to get rid of the weed Mares Tail

Equisetum is in no danger of going extinct in Alaska. It's all over the
place up here and probably all across the circumpolar areas of the
planet. It's flourishing in my garden right now, but it's easy to pull
the mare's tail phase up when I weed.

Have varieties gone extinct?

Off topic sort of....We pay 35 cents apieve for use in cut flower
arrangement. That's for each stem!!!
