Well, what do you expect if you use something computeroid?

Are you suggesting that computers are fallible?

"Horsetail" in my book, but never mind. I took over a garden in
Newcastle which was rife with it, and 2 years of spraying it with
"Tumbleweed" whenever it appeared got rid of it. I still get the
occasional one of course, just like you do with any weed.

ITYM horsetail? (Marestail is an aquatic or semi-aquatic plant.)
Lots of hard work and perseverance.
Bruise foliage as it appears and dose it with glyphosate and a touch of
detergent.
Repeat.
Perhaps for three years.
Don't try to dig it out - the roots can go down seven feet, and every
little bit you miss will grow...
Constant mowing also works - eventually.
