“There could be as much as 25 or 30% improvements in plant growth and plant productivity.”

“We've taken winter weight gains from 0.7–0.8 a day to 1.4, and up to two kilos a day.”

“The quality of feed we're coming back into in 28 days is a credit to the product.”

“We're growing as much grass or crop as we always have. In fact, we're starting to grow more - and we're using at least 30% less.”

“All that leads to a reduction in inputs, and a reduction in financial input as well.”

“Silicon encourages the nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil. So now we've got an opportunity to create some free nitrogen for the plants too.”

“A good quality silicon will attract iron. The iron moves away from the phosphate, releases it, so the roots can get at it.”

“It stimulates the plant's natural defences - its immune system, if you like.”

“We sell it as a stimulant for plants. It increases nutrient uptake efficiency.”

“It's a more pure form than other natural silica deposits or minerals, so it actually works better in our compost.”

“It's amorphous - so our silica doesn't have the respiratory issue. Not only is it helping farmers, it helps construction workers have a safer day.”

“100% of what comes in goes out - just in a different form.”

“That empty bottle of wine - you can look at it and say, you good thing, you go on and contribute to the health of the land.”

“Ten years ago, if you'd talked to me about silicon, I would have said: what's that?”
