I put down membrane in my garden and also decking but horsetail (only recently found out what it was) has come through everything. Could you please let me know what I can use to eradicate the horsetail? Thank you

Equisetum (horsetail) is extremely difficult to get rid of at all - you can try Kurtail Gold (available on line) but I don't think even that is a one hit solution, unfortunately.

The first thing to pop out of the earth which has been scorched by a nuclear fireball will be this plant. Keep it cut as close to the ground as possible to prevent spore formation and to weaken the roots. I have heard that pouring vinegar over and around the plants will kill it but I don't know for sure.

If you do a search (here, and on the internet in general), you'll find that you have a real battle on your hands, and one which may be unwinnable. Here's what the RHS says about it: https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=257
