#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
@ianshaw Oh no there's so much of it too! Thanks for the help, will get started on that tomorrow!
You'll struggle to get rid of 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! :/
Yeah mares tail is one of the older plants/weeds in the world....spreads like hell....yeah I've never fully eradicated it successfully before but it can be controlled @sarah1210
