Has anyone used this on horsetail weeds? And is it safe for lawns?

No it is not safe for lawns unless you don't like your lawn. and it is hard to kill horsetail weed horsetail will die and slowly grow back.

It will not harm grass BUT Crossbow is only legal to use on rangeland, pastures, fence rows and roadsides. This herbicide is not intended for lawns.

I don't hnow about Horsetail but it does a great job on Wild Roses and Black Berry plants. This country is infested with Wild Roses since we have THOUSANDS of Wild Tukeys spreading the hip seeds every where they go.

Can only spray once a year on hard to kill weeds-make sure you download and read the label-it's highly toxic for plants, people and pets. You definitely don't want to use it on or near your lawn or shrubs and trees. I used it on poison ivy on the perimeter of a large property.

Sorry, don't know answer to your question. I do know that after two treatments by my lawn service without getting rid of nutsege this killed the weed. This leads me to believes me that it is a strong weed killer. I would not use near your flowers without exert advice.

I use a pump up sprayer and my lawn is Centipede. I was overrun with nut sedge after a hurricane and it took 4 applications to destroy the weed. That was over a year and a half time frame. Just now we are using it once again for a wild violet that blew in during wind gusts. So far one application has withered the outer leaves only I see fresh shoots starting. Unfortunately the day I spayed this area had a cloud burst, where else but over my lawn. I hope someone who has St Augustine will share their findings with you. As far as the Image goes in controlling weeds, I don't use anything else. This product works if directions are followed as stated on label. Scots001.

I have never used the vinegar directly on horsetail. I have found that the vinegar works on young plants of any kind. You might need multiple applications.

I bought this product specifically to get rid of a nasty batch of Japanese knotweed. It worked just as promised, but I have not tried it on grass per se. It took half the bottle to spray just the leaves of the knotweed. Surely St. Gabriel should be able to help you. I called with a question and they were very helpful. Good luck

I've never used karmex. I talked to a man I know at a feed store about duckweed on my pond that looked like you could walk on. He told me about Alligare. I have a 1/2 acre pond. I walked around the edges with the 5 lb bag and a scoop. It worked very slowly. Five weeks later, no weeds. Very Happy.

I did not try it on horse tails, I tried it on oxolis, grass and mallow and it did not do much. Perhaps if you used more or had brighter sun it might work better. good for calcium removal and it broke down a batch of cement a workman spilled on my asphalt.

I actually used it on my lawn, and it lasts until the new seeds germinate that are still in the ground, I put it down with an 30 gallon tank sprayer on my thirteen acre lawn last spring, it did an amazing job killing the weeds in my centipede grass, But this spring some of the weeds were back, so I put it down again this year.I believe that this is a post emergent herbicide so it only effects what is growing on top and not what is dormant in the ground.enough treatments and I hope to have all the weeds and their seeds gone, this seems to be what I need to get it done.read the directions carefully or it will kill everything it touches if mixed to strong.

Sorry, I have no idea what horsetail is. But, per the label, it kills most weeds except for crabgrass.

doesn't kill the weeds.....It does turn your grass dark green but is not good for fresh sod. Over fertilizing with NH4 will burn the grass roots and kill the grass,

I can only tell you I poured it straight onto the area where I was trying to get rid of Reeds, no weeds. I removed all the reeds and soil with the roots and then moistened the ground with the vinegar. I am not a professional when it comes to gardening. I only wanted to get rid of the reeds and I couldn't find a better way to do it. So far I think it has worked. I also covered the ground with clear plastic and made sure no water would get in (another way of getting rid of reeds I found) after putting on the Vinegar. I wouldn't use spray as it will get onto your skin and eyes, even with lots of protection and it is very dangerous to the any body tissues and especially the eyes.

I agree with JP's answer. I have fescue and buffalo grass and it worked fine on both, it only killed the sedge. If you're not sure, or if the instructions warn against your type of lawn grass, then don't use it and/or return the product. Almost all Amazon Marketplace suppliers will refund your purchase price if the product is unopened.

I only used on lawn so sorry I can't answer this question. It did not harm my Tifblair Centipede or St. Augustine grass. It did get rid of Bahia and wild burmuda.

We love the weed razor for our lake weeds and water Lillies. We don't have any cattail s on our property. It's dangerously sharp and slices weeds like butter. We love it. But it is heavy and you have to throw it over the weeds and drag it back to you as it slices the weeds. If the cat tails are tall you may not be able to get over them. Good luck.

My favorite spray is Liquid Fence, but it does smell badly for several hours. Deer Out seems to be working well so far for the last two years and although I have never used it on the lawn I would think it would be effective.

I do believe that Tenacity killed this particular weed. I plan to apply it again preemergently in the spring (in central Ohio). It worked miraculously on quack grass, clover and a variety of other weeds that no other product could touch.

This product doesn't kill plants. It only keeps seeds for new ones from germinating. I wouldn't recommend it for keeping weeds out of lawns, though. It is like orange paint; it will color the lawn, and it is expensive. I use it to keep weeds out of flower beds where perrenials are growing.
