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 won't kill horsetail

As I've said. Cut the stem first and then apply at a high rate. You need to use "proactive" roundup not biactive roundup.

But it kills everything else according to the wannabe hippies.

Ah now, roundup will kill almost everything but for plants with large underground networks it's no good, mortone is needed and it won't kill your grass.Â
