Hello!
I have a major horsetail problem on my allotment -- I've covered part of the plot in Mypex but the horsetail is bursting out of the edges and it pops up in all the beds I've dug. I have been laboriously pulling it up but it's starting to seem like the only thing I do on the allotment and I'm wondering about other solutions. I've been reading a bit on the internet which suggests that using lime to make the soil more alkaline can be effective in controlling it. I was wondering if anyone had had any success with this approach? It sounds a bit too good to be true!
