Question
Hello, I live in SE Michigan and these two types of horse tail have invaded my yard. The more I try to eradicate the more they spread. Please help me. They have encroached my vegetable garden so I would rather not use harsh chemicals. The bamboo looking one are only in the ditch so far so they are not as troublesome. The feathery ones spread faster and they are all over.
Answer
Dear nwhite, you have two different species Equisetum (horsetail, scouring-rush). Unfortunately, the images you have posted are too small for me to determine what species they are. If you have larger images, I would be able to assist you. Best wishes.
