I bought Kurtail Gold to try to eradicate Horsetail which had encroached from a burn side up a banking to a gravelled area that was hardly ever used. Over the previous 2 years we tried Glyphosate on it but the horsetail laughed in our faces and continued to spread like a rampant wildfire. Determined not to be beaten I spent an afternoon carefully spraying the Kurtail and then waited. Within 24 hours you could see it had started to take effect and within 3 days the lush green mini forest had been reduced to dry looking brushwood!! We then took a flame gun over the dead stuff - Rambo style - and burned every last bit to a crisp. So satisfying!! There is still an area to be done as soon as the ninja showers of this summer give us a chance but the treated areas continue to expand and the remaining horsetail is being eaten into and weakened. Kurtail Gold worked really well and 0.5ltr has left me with enough to continue treating the rest and any other stray parts if any pop up. Definitely worth the money and the savings of time and further hassle in the long run. Now to spray the "normal" perennial weeds with Glyphosate so we get back to no green on that ground. No messing!!

Does the job, but the mare's tails return. Not help one neighbours not treating and another cultivating them for herbal remedies! As lng as Kurtail helps in stopping the spread

Works great, we had a huge infestation of horsetail at the bottom of our garden. Tried digging it out and it just came back worse. Then used kurtail in a knapsack sprayer to cover the area, and three weeks later almost all the horsetail is dead or dying. Other shoots did appear so a reapplication was required, but some of these new shoots were already dying from the bottom, so it looks like the weedkiller has started killing some of the rhizomes under the ground. Still some coming up but much less than before, and only really around the plants we want to keep, so have avoided spraying next to. The only negative comment is that the estimated coverage on the bottle seems to be an underestimate. They recommend 50ml in 5 litres of water for 100sqm, but I found that only covered around 50-60sqm in order to get sufficient coverage of the horsetail stems. Still, it is powerful enough that multiple repeated applications aren't needed, we have only needed two full applications with targeted spray on the remaining horsetail, so 0.5L should be enough to cover all but the largest areas.

After 5 days the treated marestail in my garden has gone very dark and lifeless which is very much like the YouTube video demo. I'm very optimistic about the end result
