    Should I water my goji berries with a silver iodide solution, to get proper harvest? Our soil is naturally very poor of silver?

    The article states that silver nitrate is added to the extract created as shown in the illustration. I don't think that goji berries contribute any silver.

    I wonder how efficient this process is; what proportion of the silver in silver nitrate is converted to silver nanoparticles?
