    Yes, I have horsetails. Did you notice that not all of my posts were exactly the same? I modified a lot of them to answer the questions. Go through and check again.

    There seems to be a LOT of advertising on the horsetail threads, mostly done by Mabel and others that are trying to sell their weedkillers. The weedkillers won't work. Every horsetail thread had "Try Glysophate" on it several times. This is a gardening forum and people are asking for help. I'm trying to help. People don't read every horsetail post, so I'm just trying to help those that have posted recently.

    At the end of one of them I asked for advice on my own lawn. I need help too. I've just dug out my entire lawn and am trying to figure out what to do drainage-wise and which layers of gravel/manure/lime/soil/turf should go in which order. Why would I go and post on any other threads when all I have is an entire garden full of soil and horsetail roots?

    Why is that so strange? You guys are rather rude.

    EDIT: I see Orchid Lady has started to make fun of me on other threads involving horsetails. I also see that she has posted to other threads involving horsetails. Pot calling kettle black?

    You are all really nice and welcoming to noobs! Oooh, I mean "muppets".

    First, nutcutlet calls me a "WUM" for posting to recent threads about horsetails...then...

    This is Orchid Lady talking about me:

    I don't know Lily, only posted on threads about horsetail, but a couple going back a while, obviously done a search and then commented on relevant threads image To be honest, I can't be a****, there are worse things happening in life than bloody weeds image I'll mail in the morning by the way, off to bed in a min, now I've had my Daniel Craig fix LOL  image Night all xx

    HELLO FORKERS! Posted: Yesterday at 23:31

    I'm posting this on here because I can't be bothered posting on the thread I put on and encouraging muppets.......

    The dreaded horsetail has today appeared in my new side border, I noticed it whilst digging a hole for my rose!!!  Blasted stuff image

    I read that Hosta, but can't dig down 300m so pulling it up as much as I can is all I can do, it does seem to have reduced it.  And yes I am a looney at heart image
