Horsetail is considered a weed in the garden, and it is quite difficult to deal with it due to its relatively developed root system.
But not all summer residents know that this plant is useful – it has a couple of interesting properties.
Despite the fact that horsetail is classified as a weed, summer residents prefer not to throw it away from the plot.
Let us turn to the opinion of the expert of the online publication Belnovosti and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
2 uses of horsetail on the plot
Why you might need this plant.
- Horsetail can be used to make liquid compost for plant nutrition, as the stem contains a lot of silicon.
- Strengthening the immunity of garden plants is achieved by treating them with a horsetail decoction.
The decoction is prepared simply - you need to pour 500 grams of fresh horsetail with water at room temperature, boil for half an hour, strain and bring the volume to 10 liters.
