    Oh I meant to say I mixed it up a bit stronger that stipulated maybe 30ml per Litre I’m not sure if that is required, I looked up on the web and can’t see any reference to anybody else using it but it worked for me

    Yes, some selectives do work on horsetail. As you say, they can work out a little pricey though

    Hi Wilkinsons hardware (wilko.com) are selling Weedol Lawn Weed Killer for £8 for 500ml but it does last a while as the recomended ratio is 15ml to a litre for spraying and that works on the lawn fine I use it stronger when dealing with Marestail maybe 20ml to 30ml per liter but I suspect it would work with the 15ml its only that I dislike this pest so much as it was taking over my garden. Ill try using the quoted mix and see if that works as I have some in my lawn.

    Hi Baza have you tried the Weedol Lawn Weedkiller yet just curious to see if it worked for you

    Nothing more satisfying than seeing this in a weedy lawn.
