Gin 508 Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar, add a touch of washing up liquid, and a cup full of salt. Crush the mares tail first by walking on it and spray. You should see results fairly soon, may need a few sprays but works for us. A two litre bottle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stunting it's growth. Absolute nightmare at first, but I eventually got on top of it, after a couple of years. The key is not to let it get you down, because it can do..! Just keep plucking it out, as soon as you see it. I cleared a lawn of it when i did gardening work,each week just picking out everything i could and won the battle in the end..A fuckedy fucksake of a job for sure though..
