Hello, my backyard has been over take by reeds. I read on your site to use thin clear plastic for solar sterilization. I'm looking to kill all the reeds, vines, ivy, etc. Will thin clear plastic still be my best bet, or use black? Area is 50'x300' Thanks
Black Plastic is the recommendation. Black will block out the sunlight.
Will horsetail choke out all my other native plants, specifically wild flowers and ferns. When it started growing, I liked it, so have let it spread. I hope I haven't endangered my other plants. I like it as a groundcover.
Horsetail can become invasive.

Can horsetail and creeping Jenny be combined and thrive together in a container?
Both of those can become highly invasive. They will compete each other for nutrients, and the horsetail will, more than likely, take over. They will stay in container together for a short time, but eventually, one will take the whole thing.
