silica spray/biodynamic gdng

Margaret--

I don't know about commercially available silica spray, but I remember 
horsetail (equisetum) is supposed to be full of silica. Some herbalists 
recommend horsetail tea for use on for hair and nails (as well as 
internally, tho I don't think I'd want to try that).

You could always try making horsetail tea to use as a plant spray. It's a 
common weed around here in southern Ontario (where we finally have spring 
flowers and some green leaves coming up!).
