Hi, I'm sorry for delay. Yes, I have used it in last year, I done it by brush. Garden is clean up to today. I didn't know it was withdrawn in this year, I'm sorry. Bozena

Hi Deirdre, you can do it by Kurtail (previously Kibosh), total weed killer & also kills mare's tail / horse tail. Unfortunately it is absolutely non-selective so please be careful. Do not use it if is windy day. Follow the instructions. Hope it is helpful. Good luck Bozena

Hi Deirdre, I wouldn't recommend Kurtail unless you've been trained. It's a pretty nasty chemical weedkiller which is being withdrawn from the market due to new legislation this year. I wasn't aware it was available for the general public to buy. Have you used this Bozena? I've heard reports its not as effective as it makes out with mares tail. Craig.
