Default Re: Winterizing

I have recently been reading research on silicon and my thoughts were that since most of the cold damage is from cellular rupture anything that you could do to make the cell walls stronger would be beneficial. The potash makes the water more difficult to freeze, but in theory calcium and silicon would make it harder for a cell to rupture.
