Kay Lancaster quoth:

No. Not unless you want to chance your yard (not just your bed) being a
solid stand of Equisetum in the future. Pot, raised above the soil
surface several inches, with clear airspace underneath, and monthly or
so examinations to remove any bits that want to come out and play in
larger plots of soil.
If you're a fan of the Old Star Trek... well, Equisetum does a pretty
good tribble imitation.

*sigh* OK. I guess I'm going to have to yield to reason. Drat!

Thanks for persisting until I came to my senses.
