will sodium clorate kill marestail

[Dave G]

Hi Does anyone know if the weedkiller sodium clorate kill the weed marestail/horsetail
many thanks Dave G

[Lonnie]

I would say yes to your question, but it will also kill the earth, making it untenable for at the very least, a year.

I use it on my paths, but I no longer have any children, and no pets.

Oh dear, woops, nice and quiet then Lonnie!!

[Lonnie]

Not quite eyeshade, but its a nice thought, I meant young children.

[Dave G]

Thanks Lonnie
Just wanted to be sure as it is now over a huge swathe of my garden, that is clear of any plants at the moment
I am sure that it came from bags of the inviormental safe compost that we put down last spring.
But Hey Ho thats life
many thanks again Dave
