I remember hearing this plant was used for erosion control. I can't remember what it's called? Pictures coming.

Horsetails. At least that's a common name for them. They are fun to pull apart. Also edible, apparently.

Could you be thinking about River Cane? It looks kind of similar and has a root structure that would seem to make it a good plant for erosion control.

Pot scrubber. It has silica in it and was used to clean pots and cookware.

They are hard to kill, but I found a way. I had them growing here in flower beds this winter when the rest of the plants were dormant they were still green. Temps were in the 40's during the day to below freezing at night. This was early December. I mixed up a combination of Glyphosate and Diquat dibromide [6,7-dihydrodipyrido (1,2-a:2',1'-c) pyrazinediium dibromide]
in 25 gallons of water: 1 pint of Diquat 1 qt 53% Glyphosate Pond dye to color the tank mix so it's visible 25 fl. oz. surfactant (I use Cygnet Plus)
I sprayed the plants to the point of herbicide runoff using a hand wand.
They haven't greened up yet this year. Now this will nuke anything else that is green at the time, but Hostas that were dormant were not affected.........

Eqisetim aka Indian paintbrush It's called scouring rush. Likes water or low lying areas. Very difficult to control.

Eqisetim aka Indian paintbrush It's called scouring rush. Likes water or low lying areas. Very difficult to control. Also likes areas that flood and dry out. Yes it is difficult to control without killing anything else that it is growing in, but I found a way - see my post earlier in this thread. It is a very primitive plant and has a high silica content.
