Never had a garden before, just bought a house with a lovely but neglected garden... not quite sure what I'm doing, trying to learn!

#plantid What is this please? It's growing all over the cracks in the drive, it seems to grow faster than dandelions!

@sarah1210 This is horsetail and is deep-rooted so difficult to eradicate physically • If you choose chemical control, it helps to bruise it first by stamping! or dragging a rake over it

@plantlover96 Just been having a look on RHS, think I'd need a much stronger weed killer than what I have to even have a slight chance! :/
