Planting Equisetum in pots on September 26, 2014 Get link Facebook X Pinterest Email Other Apps Love this idea for multiple reasons : - Equisetum grows so quickly and make even the newest newbie of a gardener feel accomplished and happy, - Equisetum can get out of control and the container will prevent that from happening. I am going to plant some Equisetum in pots this summer to create privacy and cover up some unsightly areas of my yard.
