Why horsetail is a problem in Tredegar
On Tredegar properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Tredegar's ironworks legacy left vast spoil tips along the Rhymney and Sirhowy, and these disturbed banks remain one of the most persistent knotweed strongholds in the South Wales valleys.
