Why horsetail is a problem in Ogmore Vale
On Ogmore Vale properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Ogmore Vale sits on the Ogmore river north of Bridgend, where old colliery sites and the riverside path spread knotweed.
