Any cures for marestail weed ?


ITYM horsetail? (Marestail is an aquatic or semi-aquatic plant.)

Lots of hard work and perseverance.

Bruise foliage as it appears and dose it with glyphosate and a touch of
detergent.

Repeat.

Perhaps for three years.

Don't try to dig it out - the roots can go down seven feet, and every
little bit you miss will grow...

Constant mowing also works - eventually.
