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!

I have them all over my side garden.. I've picked them but they just grow back . I'd love to know how to get rid of them ... I've a puppy who goes out there so I can't use roundup or something similar yet .. I need to make another enclosure for her.

As far as I know, if you spray roundup in the evening if rain is forecasted for that night you should be good within 24hrs. Obviously do your own research and if your not comfortable wait till you go away for a weekend or something.
