I'm in southern Ontario Canada. I have an empty undeveloped area
behind my yard. My grass just ends directly into this rough. It
gets full of Field Horsetail as far as i can tell. These slowly
creep into the grass and even pop up a few meters further inwards
(dangerously close to my garden) from their underground roots. Is
there any way to control this? I hope that their mere presence within
the boundaries of my property doesn't mean i've already lost the
battle.

There's a (long) recent/current thread on uk.rec.gardening about
horsetail. You might check Google groups. I didn't read the thread
because I don't have horsetail. :-)

Thanks. A few threads there have been quite usefull
