With regard to the form of application, Rudolf Steiner uses the term Jauche — liquid manure. This indicates that the horsetail tea, after the steeping phase, should be exposed to fermentation, through which a gradual breaking-down of the more resistant organic substances can take place. Through the formation of acids, the tea becomes liquid manure and is thereby preserved and usable for a longer period. Only when it passes into putrefaction and begins to stink — hydrogen sulphide, H₂S — should further use be discontinued. Cold fermentation of fresh horsetail material, as practised here and there, should likewise be avoided. With longer fermentation times, premature faulty fermentation as well as inadequate breakdown of the amorphous
