How to get rid of horsetail in your garden
Horsetail can become a real curse for summer residents and gardeners.
This malicious weed can get onto the site along with imported soil and dangerously powerful roots that suck nutrients from the soil.
That is why it is so important to get rid of this plant in time, before it destroys all the others.
How to get rid of horsetail
The first and most important thing is to carefully examine all imported soil. After it is scattered on the site, it will be almost impossible to find the roots of the plant, since it is buried to a depth of up to a meter.
Another method is to create unfavorable conditions for weed growth. Liming the soil with dolomite flour will help with this.
This ingredient not only reduces acidity, but also enriches the soil with magnesium and improves its structure.
It is advisable to add dolomite flour in spring. In the first year, a full rate of dolomite flour is added, in subsequent years - no more than half of the rate.
The rate of application of dolomite flour directly depends on the soil type.
