Alessandra, this idea intrigues me. We have the horsetail growing where I
live and I have fungus problems on a red plum tree. The tree is twenty-five
years old and has a lovely shape but gets fire blight and shot-hole fungus.
I spray with a copper/horticultural oil in Feb., but this year it didn't
work. I stay away from chemicals as much as possible because the runoff
goes into a salmon-bearing stream. I wonder how you prepare the horsetail
tea.
I hope the authorities don't care much for your Roman tomb.
