Why horsetail is a problem in Ashford
On Ashford properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Ashford's growth as a railway town left extensive disturbed sidings and marshalling yards near the international station, while the River Great Stour's banks have given knotweed further room to spread.
