"I always think there is confusion between Horsetails & Mare's tail (I often mix up the names..). I suspect we are all talking about Horsetails as real Mare's tail is an Aquatic based weed ?

Simon Gough replied to Michael Fitzgerald's discussion Mare's Tails"Interesting that some folks find crushing the stems help, technically it shouldn't.
You have to remember that it is a Xerophyte or conifer which, as with all conifers, has evolved to cope with the the lack of available water in frozen areas of…"

"Was always told to crush/bruise it first (ie by walking over etc) to improve uptake of pesticide as it has an effectively coat of armour ( as it comes from one of the oldest types of plant - almost prehistoric ). True or not, seems to help/work."

"It's a professional product. You shouldn't be able to buy it without the proper certificates, that's the difference between domestic chemicals, which tend to be ineffective and expensive, and professional ones!

choughman replied to Michael Fitzgerald's discussion Mares Tails"many many years ago an old gardener showed me how to deal with maretail. Stamp on it then spray with glyphosate. Obviously this is dependant on where it is but the reasoning is that the plant has a hard "skin" on its leaves that sheds…"

Simon Smith replied to Michael Fitzgerald's discussion Mares Tails"Don't mess about trying to dig it or use multiple sprays of glyphosate Just use the kurtail. It kills almost all of it and very limited re-growth will need a second hit."
Kevin Barnett replied to Michael Fitzgerald's discussion Mares Tails"Its got to be a combination of glyphosphate, carefully digging, and perseverance.

Hi all,
a thought has just crossed my mind that with all the talent thats associated with the LJN, covering all aspects of landscaping both hard and soft etc, wouldn`t it be a great idea for the LJN TO get together
and showcase this website and its talents at The Chelsea Flower Show next year,
I`m sure it would be a runaway success, anyone interested ?

Debbie Carroll said… - Hi Michael, just read your blog re: show gardens, would love to be involved have helped on two large builds at the planting stage for Hillier Landscapes at chelsea, great fun.
Tried with a fellow Designer to get sponsorship to do Hampton court this year but really tricky times and no luck. I believe there are some funds from RHS for some specific gardens but discovered this too late to do it justice.
