Homes & Gardens Magazine interviews Extension’s Long on managing horsetail
Homes & Gardens Magazine interviewed Rebecca Long, coordinator of horticulture programs at University of Maine Cooperative Extension, on how to eradicate horsetail from invading plants. One way people have tried to get rid of horsetail is by raising the pH of soil by adding lime. “If you raised the pH high enough to be totally inhospitable for horsetail, it would likely be unsuitable for most plants,” Long said.
