best way to prepare liquid organics

[floppyfundanglr]

I was curious as to what would be the best way to prepare liquid organic nutrients such as Fish emulsion, liquid kelp, liquid worm castings, etc? I also have hygrozyme what would be the best way to introduce this? Also my soil has many of these amendments also bat guano, chicken guano, feather meal and mychorizal fungi. Can i simply mix and water or are their some better ways?

peace

Most simply you could just dilute the sea kelp into some water and feed. But it being high in beneficial strains of bacteria in itself, it would seem best to aereate them in a dilution of water and perhaps other sources of carbohydrates (mollasses is best) in order to feed and oxygenate the bacteria for a while so as to allow the colonies to build up and power up as if to say. On the enzymes they could just be great about anytime including at the bubbling process or diluted and fed by themselves. Since a bat guano can be a rougher organic matter and yet still be hot or "potent" enough, sometimes I like to bubble the guano or whatever rough by itself with a bit of carbs, maybe even feed with kelp to enhance. And then strain out what solids remain and put them for another round of fresh 24 hour bubbling with the enzyme of your choice. You will be feeding beneficial fungi all the meanwhile especially with compost.

You can make your own compost with vegetable and fruit scraps amongst a host of other preferably organic items including those high in protien. You can also make your own worm castings so it is not so expensive as buying all these products on the shelf you have. A good source of worm castings will have eggs in them which can then hatch into the soil further soil wealth, tilling, and aereation. Earthworm castings provide mucilage that binds soil against erosion as well as assisting in retaining water for the plants and soil life. Soil life and wealth is greatly benefited by the prescence and addition of humic acids and fulvic acids. Perhaps there is an ulvic acid solution on the market. Whether combined or using a combo of many organic sources, the more the merrier as each will bring its own profile of beneficial bacteria as well as fungi into the mix or tea. Which means more activity down under and hence more energy and stimulation for the plant to thrive. Oxygenation plays a vital role in energizing and stimulating the soil life and plant life and so bubble those teas and keep your medium on the not too wet (undrowned) side and its consistency light with a well rounded custom blend for a beneficial root fungi and bacteria wonderland.

wow, good answer slickster.

im curious this process doesnt take place in nature and if i have a good soil with microbials and such can i get away without bubbling its just not practical for me right now.

Damn Slickster .....I think you've made that answer the easiest and most concise I've read and seen in a long long time about the aeration of any tea !!!

Hi floppy! I don't know if you've already read that, but vonforne has posted a simple and effective way to brew a tea for a quick feeding, here's the link:

Good luck

is anerobic bacteria bad?

That's a type of bateria that grows in liquids without proper aeration


Aerobic bateria is what you seek

as i understand hygrozyme is a non bacterial enzyme that breaks down nutrients? Is this what the bacteria do? From my understanding, and i guess im mistaken, but i thought that bacteria created the enzymes. Or they virtually would do the same thing. Mind is a little cloudy i apologize my main problem is just i really want to understand why these processes happen so i can visualize it in my head and get a better idea of what is going on in my soil and how my products are working together. I also was under the impression that making teas was the best thing when using soiless mixes that lacked the proper microbials due to its sterilness?

Peace
