hi all me again

i have that shoking weed horsetail! its not that bad to look at, like a
minipine tree.haha. anyway the trouble is i have to keep pulling them up
as they are all in my plants.

does anyone know how to get rid of it??


#1 Upon moving back to the Pacific Northwest a few years back, I noticed
the driveway preparation next door was prefaced by liberal application of
weed/brush killer prior to blacktopping. Next spring, lumpy spots appeared,
and guess what, horsetail growing through the asphalt driveway surface.

#2 Built a small (very small) greenhouse with conventional concrete
footings, a concrete sub-wall 18" high, and a poured concrete floor, (6"
thick to accommodate solar hot water heat). When first spring came, and
floor warmed up, horsetail was sprouting through all the floor to wall
insulated seams. I let it grow, out of curiosity for the first year, and
then pulled it all up. Every now and then, a little green shows. I am so
proud! At least the greenhouse is successful in growing something!
