you know how to grow, not questioning you, but i just don't see the use in adding silica to soil, soil is made of silica, unless you've completely manufactured it, it has more than your plants could ever use.

Plus remember ..I'm using 100% cow manure...I'm not using dirt. So I don't know the exact content of silica in it...I mean I'm sure there is some :)

i agree that silica is needed, but soil already has more than enough.

https://njaes.rutgers.edu/fs1278/..".Dicotyledonous plant species in general have fewer tendencies to accumulate silicon and some species may grow adequately with levels at about 0.1% Si in plant tissue."

https://www.pthorticulture.com/en/training-center/role-of-silicon-in-plant-culture/...."Most dicots (broad leaf plants) take up small quantities of silicon and accumulate less than 0.5% in their tissue."

Well as much as I googled and tried to find out if there is any or much in composted manure..There wasn't anything that I could find. So i may have wasted some money...at best I did something good for them lol

I got a shit load off wood screws and a spare drill or 2 i can send you.For next years 10 extra plants of course:bigjoint:

It'd be cool to see one of your shitty beds full of some shroomage amongst the rest of the garden.That'd be cool.
