Why horsetail is a problem in Trowbridge
On Trowbridge properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Trowbridge's Victorian woollen mill heritage left disturbed leats and mill ponds along the River Biss, where knotweed has established extensively across former textile industry brownfield sites.
