Why horsetail is a problem in Brackley
On Brackley properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Brackley's old market town streams feeding the River Great Ouse and the disused Great Central Railway embankment on its outskirts both provide sheltered, undisturbed corridors where knotweed has become established.
