Thanks. When did she last do it and for how long? It's interesting to
find out if it works for a season or more.
As she's recommended this to others several times, I would think she's
done
it some time ago.

Since it's apparently been around since the dinosaurs were top species, I
would suggest that eradicating it is at best an aspiration.

It seems to strike some places more than others. I'm literally clutching
my
desk as I write this but we have none here, though our ground can be
sodden
in winter (and summer, this year!) I think I remember someone saying you
could eat it, when we had a similar discussion years ago but I may be
wrong,
so don't try it!
I think it's ground elder that you can eat. As for the mare's/horse tail,
yes, we've got it on the allotment, but not at home only 2 miles away. I'm
sure it will show up at some point. Or something will. One day we'll bring a
seed or spore home on our boots.
