    This weed is a nightmare at one of the gardens i look after for an elderly lady. I am unable to spray as she has a large number of bulbs that her husband but in before he passed away so have to hand pull and dig it out carefully also there has started to appear a large amount to ground elder which has started to flower in between visits which i am heistant to remove as the bees are flocked over it and i know there struggling to survive in the UK.

    I feel sometimes you have to let nature do its work.

    Hi

    i gave up spraying them a long time ago.  Hand pulling and digging as Austin says is the hard but effective way.

    I now have certain dedicated areas of our garden where its allowed to grow and then its cut and dried and used as a hair tonic.. The high Silica content is just one of its mineral benefits. Havnt gone as far as potting it up and selling it !... ..Yet.

    Ive had the same nice weed,  i searched and posted on the site, What i did was -  walked all over it wipeing my feet breaking it up, then spray  2 weeks brown/yellow, 4 weeks well dead, dug over ground left it for a week, then some started to re grow so spray again, left it for a week, nothing, dug again phew its gone! year two and only the odd bit pokeing up further along or in street, so same as above. so far its gone.

    I don't know why people are disparing about this, kurtail is massively effective and will kill it easily.

    yes  - i have photo today and its worked,  extremley effective .  post asap of dead kurtailed mares tail weed !!!

    best to spray while its fully growing ie june in sunshine and dont tread on/snap as one little bit will regrow on its own ....
