#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
