What can I use to control mares tail weed invading my garden?


Our Advice:

This is a very deep rooted weed can be extremely difficult to get rid of. Try spraying with Superfast Long Lasting Weedkiller from Neudorff, which the company claims will kill this weed. You may find that several applications are needed to gain control of this perennial weed. Avoid spraying plants you wish to keep or they will be killed too.
