Diatomaceous earth

Has anyone used it? Interested in it to add natural silica to the plants but how much of it do you use to mix on with coco? Help would be much appreciated.

I have some, It's very interesting stuff. It probably would work for a silica. Farmers often mix this with their live stock feed as it aids animals in digestion.  Gardeners mix it with soil as a natural insecticide. When looked at under a microscope it has very jagged edges and razor sharp end. When insects walk across it they cut themselves up and die from desiccation. If you use it make sure you get the food grade quality, it's totally safe for humans. I think you can be as liberal with it as you like as a additive. It shouldn't harm the ladies.
