Why horsetail is a problem in Bognor Regis
On Bognor Regis properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Bognor Regis's low-lying coastal plain and old drainage rifes running through former market garden land are classic knotweed habitat, with the plant also established along the disused branch railway line into the town.
