Weeding Help Needed
Posted on to News
There used to be a fair amount of horsetail (equisetum) growing in the Gateway planters. Since we've replanted them, it doesn’t want to go away without a fight.

Digging or pulling the horsetail out is not practical. It is impossible to get all the roots — any bits left will continue to grow. The best approach is to keep snipping of any shoots it sends up. That depletes the roots of energy, eventually doing them in.
If you happen to be by the planter and see some horsetail, help us out and cut off any shoots!

Also, remember that we can use help watering, too!
