Help, I have sprayed twice with Roundup - it is becoming very invasive -
any suggestions?
Move house?
Ok, on a slightly more practical note then, mares tail is almost impossible to
kill and doesn't absorb roundup like most plants
Somebody, Franz?, said that if you trample on the part above the
surface first then the mares tails will absorb Roundup
(I'm sure someone here will be
able to give the scientific explanation for this).
It's got a waxy surface that repels liquids.
The only way to reduce mares tail is to keep digging it up, you'll never get
rid of it, but if you keep at it, an hour or so a day, you reduce it's
visibility.
forever? :-((
