For some it's just an annoying weed, for others it's an important fertilizer for beloved plants. We're talking about the field horsetail here. In most cases, it is hated because its roots go as deep as 1.5 meters into the ground. So getting it out is almost impossible.
However, you should know that horsetail also has a decisive advantage. A valuable fertilizer can be made from it, which serves as a plant strengthener for other plants and can even be used as a pesticide. Suddenly the anger about the annoying weeds is only half as big, isn't it?
The above video from Gärtnerei Pötschke shows exactly how you make the fertilizer from field horsetail. In her "Green Tip" Cornelia Pötschke explains all the details and gives additional tips for use.
