Work with nature...... if that was possible......
My ground is covered with HORSETAIL.........
Digging it deep for over 20 years now... and it still appears....
Spend hours and hours.... instead of enjoying.....
between veggies......aswell .....

I think I might have a solution - well possibly... and that is keep it well cut for now and treat with the strongest weedkiller you can in early autumn - just when the plant is taking nutreants back into its roots to get through the winter... but you need to be persistant and keep it up, treat again 6 weeks later (regardless of what it says on the lable)... this has been shown to be the most effective way of control.
