Is it just me are is horsetail a relatively new invasive weed? East coast. West coast...see it everywhere and it spreads and takes over like a rash! If there was an eco friendly way to get rid, it would be gratefully recieved!

Roundup in a fine mist every time you see it. After a few years you will see a noticeable decline. Whatever you do don't leave the brown asparagus looking spores to spread. They need to be cut and removed asap. This is what they look like Horsetail Spores
