MontanaGrow is what I use for silica.MontanaGrow is your mined source for an affordable premium silica derived from volcanic ash. It's an extremely clean source of silica which a great deal of it is readily available. BAS used to carry it, but I think the owner of the company saw too much of his product being sold by them.Ah, I see you were talking about SILICA! I totaly agree about silica.
SALICYLIC acid sounds similar but its a completely different chemical, more closely related to aspirin.
I used to just add it to my top dressings and let the bacteria and all the other bugs in worms help convert the rest over. When I went to order more I found out that they don't care it any longer, so I changed my method of utilization. I now grind it up very fine and incorporate into the worm food I make. It definitely helps the worms in their digestion and they thoroughly process it.
You can definitely tell the difference! You can tell the difference in the branch when you go to train them. It is definitely much more difficult to squeeze and pinch to get one to move. You may experience more breaking, if you don't thoroughly work the branch before you try to bend it.
How did find out that the owner either started or had a business selling this product. Knowing that I can get more, I'm gonna start back adding it to my top dressings also.
I'm pretty sure it would work well for you salt guys also. I would just mix it into my media.
Edit................ Yeah it's kinda telling . I just went and checked what I paid for it from from BAS compared to it what the guy is now filling it for. It was $61.60 for a 25 pound bag with free shipping.
And here's what the guy is selling it for now!
