Well I saw someone yesterday on our allotment taking/stealing marestail in a bunch to take home.  Wonder what they were doing with it!!!  Maybe cleaning their pots and pans.  Hope they want some more, must be a use for it somewhere.  I think mine is getting fed up with me as I keep chopping, cutting and pulling and when it comes up again it does look weaker but have plenty if you need some.  :( :( :( :(  What happened to all the rain, it missed Enfield.
it makes a good anti-fungal spray
You couldn't make it up!

just soak a load of it in water until it breaks down into a solution, then spray onto onions or anything else that is susceptible to fungus. ;)  ;D ;D ;D

I bet I have more horse tail/mares than Kev.  Seems to like Enfield, and perhaps all the free compost we get is full of the stuff and it spreads about.

My marestail's not to bad, but I have be pulling it as soon as I see it so I suppose it doesn't seem much when your not seeing it all in one go. We have only just started getting the free compost so I will have to wait on that one Borlotti. Good idea though Shirl I could pick everybody elses maresstail and sell the stuff back to them.  :-\   ???    :-*    ;D ;D ;D
