Post 4/4

Pausing at the fourth kilometre marker you will find yourself surrounded by tall, green, bamboo-like grass known as scouring rush or horsetail. Historically, this plant was used for scrubbing and polishing because of its silica content as well as its availability. This evergreen plant has underground stems that spread quickly, making it difficult to eradicate once established. The horsetail is poisonous to livestock, especially horses and cattle, causing the disease equisetosis. It is also deadly to overshadowing plant life, which it smothers and finally eradicates.
