Horsetails and Roundup
In article , Jon
rubbish-----@?.? writes I've got a problem with this as well. Last year I drenched it repeatedly with SBK, Weedol, glyphosate, sodium chlorate, and household bleach. This year it's back but not quite as bad :-) Yes SBK is the only thing I've had any success with. As someone else said, use the rubber glove method. I didn't eradicate it completely but it's now just a case of constantly pulling out any that dare put their heads above ground. It is renowned for surviving deep down whatever treatment you throw at it. After SBK'ing it on a rockery slope, I planted some Persicaria 'Dharjeeling Red' which has spread like wildfire and seems to have outcompeted the mare's tail. What a great value plant it is too - profuse gorgeous red bottle-brush flowers from May to October. -- Paul Flackett Remove _bra to reply by e-mail. |
