Why horsetail is a problem in Pontycymer
On Pontycymer properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Pontycymer lies in the Garw valley, where the river, the former railway and terraced gardens let weeds spread down the valley.
