Mares Tail!

Does anyone know of any magic spells to eliminate it?? Is the only solution to dig up my entire garden and firebomb it! Nothing I do seems to work and i'm too scared to get the heavy stuff in as we have two dogs...
Any help or advice gratefully received...

I wish I knew - I hate it - firebomb I hadn't thought of that

Look of ebay for some Kurtail. It is not cheap but it will kill it with several applications.
Kurtail is for professional use so make sure you use protective gloves and take care when using it as it will kill anything it comes into contact with. Use on the mares tail when it is actively growing for best results (so now rather than during the winter months)
It doesn't taint the soil so once you have cleared the mails tail you can replant in the same area.

Wow thanks, I really thought it was the weed that never died! Highlander weed!

Highlander weed!
The grotty stuff has thrived in a Sussex garden. It has meant constant weeding during the summer months.
I am looking forward to trying this Kurtail.
