Why horsetail is a problem in Warminster
On Warminster properties, horsetail roots reach two metres down, shrug off most garden weedkillers and push up through lawns, borders and block paving year after year. Warminster's military garrison land on Salisbury Plain and the River Wylye's disturbed valley floor have allowed knotweed to establish along old railway sidings and training ground perimeters.
