An easier way to get shards?

[Ayerinn]

Plant them in your garden or FC gardens, they grow 75 shards per plant with grade 2 shroud soil in 24 hours.

I use grade 1 shroud every day x 4 gardens - much easier to source than grade 2 or 3 shroud soil...you get 65 instead of 75 shards. Obviously if you only have a few apartment vases or whatever, you may want as many shards as possible so I would use grade 3 shroud for 100 per.
