Nutrients Horsetail weed foliar tea

[Mr. Inconspicuous]

Has anyone had experience using horsetail weed to supplement silica? They are high in silica and can be boiled and steeped into a foliar spray. I wouldent want to top dress with them but maybe bake them first and topdress? Any benefits or not necessary?

I just use NPK Industries Silica.

Oh. Ok. I have a ton of horsetail weed and have given up controlling it. Though maybe I could put it to good use.

You need to find out whether the silica in horsetail is water soluble. If not, tea might not do much.

Good luck with it, nice creative idea, might work.
